"It`s one of those things that happens. And that`s why I didn`t ask Rohit Sharma whether that catch was the turning point. Because it shouldn`t be just one dropped catch at a certain stage of the game. Pinning the blame on Arshdeep Singh, a young cricketer would not have been fair," added Manjrekar

Former India player Sanjay Manjrekar feels pace bowler Arshdeep Singh perhaps dropped Asif Ali`s catch in the Asia Cup Super Four game against arch-rival Pakistan on September 4 due to pressure, adding that under normal circumstances that same catch would have been taken by anybody.
In the 18th over of the match on Sunday (Sept 4), needing 34 runs, Asif Ali tried to sweep Ravi Bishnoi and it seemed like he would be returning to the pavilion. However, Arshdeep dropped the straightforward chance and Ali survived to bring back the game in Pakistan`s favour. Arshdeep then received a lot of criticism from netizens.
