Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood defended Mitchell Marsh, who dropped Virat Kohli on his bowling and said the dropped catch didn’t played any significant role in the six-wicket loss against India in Chennai.
Virat Kohli was dropped on 12 by off Hazlewood’s bowling after Marsh made ample ground from the mid-wicket region, even as wicketkeeper Alex Carey also ran in, leading to confusion.
“No, I don’t think so (it played a role), it was quite early obviously when that catch was dropped,” Hazlewood said at the post-match press conference.
“I didn’t think Carey could get there. I think it was Mitch’s catch and probably just Carey got quite close in the end so it might have just put Mitch off.
