"Nobody told us Litton Das is DC's second Impact Player!" - Fans troll KKR wicketkeeper for his mistakes against DC in IPL 2023

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) wicketkeeper Litton Das had an IPL debut to forget against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday (April 20). The Bangladesh star scored just 4 runs with the bat, but his wicketkeeping mistakes hurt KKR even more.

Despite having a target of just 128 to defend, Kolkata made things difficult for Delhi as their slower bowlers, particularly Varun Chakravarthy and Nitish Rana, tightened the screws and picked up wickets at crucial junctures. However, Das missed the crucial stumpings of both Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav, which were just the reprieves that the Delhi Capitals needed.

Fans on Twitter trolled KKR for playing Litton Das and also roasted the wicketkeeper for his blunders. Here are some of the reactions:

Many believe the match could have gone either way had Litton Das held on to his chances

The Delhi Capitals got off to a decent start thanks to David Warner, who showed signs of his vintage best. But by the middle of the innings they were struggling to score at a brisk pace, and the Kolkata bowlers built pressure with a lot of dot balls.

While Sunil Narine had an off-day with the ball, Varun Chakravarthy, Anukul Roy, and even skipper Nitish Rana took advantage of the conditions and kept chipping away with the wickets.

Das missed the chance to send back both Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav. Even one of these wickets could have opened up one end and exposed DC's tail. But that wasn't to be, and DC eventually won with four balls to spare.
