Netizens didn’t mince their words and brutally lashed out at Shivam Dube as the Chennai Super Kings all-rounder dropped Virat Kohli’s catch in IPL 2026. The Super Kings travelled to M Chinnaswamy Stadium to lock horns with the defending champions in the second game of Sunday’s double-header. The game saw visiting captain Ruturaj Gaikwad winning the toss and let the hosts bat first.

As Bengaluru got off to a slow start, there came a moment during the third over when Dube dropped an easy catch of Kohli. The former RCB captain was batting at seven when he hit a Khaleel Ahmed delivery from the bottom of the bat over mid-on. Dube had almost covered it by running back from mid-on, but the ball ended up popping out of his hands.
