Fans mock KKR wicketkeeper for utter errors against DC in IPL 2023: “Nobody told us Litton Das is DC’s second Impact Player!”.
On Thursday, April 20 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, wicketkeeper Litton Das of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had a forgettable IPL debut against the Delhi Capitals (DC). Although the Bangladeshi star only managed to score 4 runs with the bat.
His poor wicketkeeping had the biggest impact on KKR.
Despite only having to defend a target of 128, Kolkata put Delhi under pressure by tightening the screws and taking wickets at critical moments.
The Delhi Capitals were granted a reprieve when Das failed to stump both Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav in crucial situations. Twitter users mocked Kolkata Knight Riders for using Litton Das and lambasted the wicketkeeper for his errors.
Had Litton Das kept his chances, the match might have ended in either direction. Fans Trolled Him Badly –

David Warner demonstrated signs of his vintage best and helped the Delhi Capitals get off to a respectable start. However, as the Kolkata bowlers increased pressure. Balls progressively found it difficult to score quickly.
Varun Chakravarthy, Anukul Roy and even skipper Nitish Rana took advantage of the circumstances and continued chipping away with the wickets while Sunil Narine had a bad day with the ball.
Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav could have been sent back, but Das failed to do so. Even one of these wickets would have exposed DC’s tail and opened up an end. However, DC won with four balls to spare, so that wasn’t to be.
Jason Roy, Litton Das (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Mandeep Singh, Sunil Narine, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy and Kulwant Khejroliya are the members of the Kolkata Knight Riders XI.
David Warner (captain), Philip Salt (wicketkeeper), Mitchell Marsh, Manish Pandey, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma and Mukesh Kumar make up the Delhi Capitals XI.
