Former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on Friday criticised India's fielding performance in the first T20I against West Indies which the hosts managed to win by 6 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Washington Sundar and Rohit Sharma both dropped a couple of catches each while captain Virat Kohli also had a poor outing as India allowed the Windies to reach 207 for 5 in 20 overs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal.
The 16th over saw Sundar drop Shimron Hetmyer on 44, who then went on to score his maiden half-century in T20Is. In the same over, Rohit dropped Kieron Pollard on 24, who went on to hit 37 off 19 balls as the West Indies posted the second-highest total against India in India.
Yuvraj, who was one of the best fielders in the world in his prime, took to twitter to slam the Indian players after the end of the first innings. "India very poor on the field today ! Young guns reacting a bit late on the ball! Too much cricket ? ? Let's get these runs come on lads," Yuvraj tweeted.
