Watch: Ruturaj Gaikwad drops absolute dolly to give Brian Bennett a lifeline in IND vs ZIM 4th T20I

India batter Ruturaj Gaikwad has been having a fantastic series with the bat but in the ongoing fourth game so far isn't going his way. The second last match of the series between the India National Cricket Team and the Zimbabwe National Cricket Team is being held at the Harare Sports Club in Harare.

India opted to field first in the ongoing 4th match of the series against Zimbabwe. The move has challenged them a bit as they have failed to pick wickets at regular intervals. The hosts' batters have been scoring runs at a decent rate and have put the team under pressure.

The Indian team also hasn't been great on the field with the ball. They have been sloppy in the field and one such moment came from Ruturaj Gaikwad, who dropped a dolly to have a reprieve to Zimbabwe batter Brian Bennett in the 11th over of the innings off Abhishek Sharma's bowling

Abhishek Sharma floated a delivery up around off stump. Brian Bennett looked to loft against the turn and got a leading edge over cover. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was stationed there, ran back and got the fingertip to it, making a mess of the easy catch to give life to the batter.

Thankfully for Ruturaj Gaikwad, the dropped catch didn't cost match as Brian Bennett couldn't make most of the opportunity and perished early after that. Washington Sundar removed the Zimbabwe National Cricket Team batter as India came back into the game with a few quick wickets.

Washington Sundar bowled a short ball outside off to which Brian Bennett hit it straight to cover. The batter made a bit of room and cut it uppishly to Yashasvi Jaiswal who made sure that he didn't replicate what Ruturaj Gaikwad made and took the easy catch to send the batter packing.

Brian Bennett struggled in his innings right from the start and looked scratchy. He scored 9 runs off 14 balls and with his wicket, Zimbabwe National Cricket Team were left at 92/3. After his wicket, they lost Johnathan Campbell and were reduced to 96/4.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is the leading run-getter in the ongoing series between the India National Cricket Team and the Zimbabwe National Cricket Team

Ruturaj Gaikwad has been in the golden touch in the ongoing series between the India National Cricket Team and the Zimbabwe National Cricket Team. After the hosts lost the first game, he played a massive role in them making a comeback and winning the next three games on the trot.

Ruturaj Gaikwad slammed a blistering half-century in the second game and then followed it up with a quick cameo in the third game. The batter scored 49 runs and helped his team win the game. In the three games, the right-hander has scored 133 runs at an average of over 66.

Ruturaj Gaikwad would be hoping to continue his good form in the ongoing game and help his team win. The batter is likely to bat at No.4 and would be keen to play another match-winning innings for the team.
