Young revealed that he could only laugh after the second dropped chance. Interestingly, Virat Kohli also came up to him after the incident. Young asked the Indian batting superstar whether he had ever been dropped twice in the same over. To which Kohli laughed.
Will Young said during the innings break, as quoted by Cricbuzz: “Well, the first one, obviously a little bit disappointed, but at the same time relieved. The second one, you just got to laugh it off. Virat came up to me, and I said, “Have you ever been dropped twice in an over?" He laughs and says, "No, so just brush it off and next ball.”
Well, the Black Caps went on to post 333 on the board in the fourth ODI against India. Now, the touring side needs a strong batting performance to take a 3-0 lead on the ongoing ODI series.
