Gujarat Titans' 4 dropped catches prove costly as Finn Allen and Cameron Green punish with record 247 in KKR vs GT

If Allen was the headline act, Cameron Green was the supporting player who twisted the knife further. The Australian all-rounder, who commanded a price tag of ₹25.20 crore at the auction, was handed a gift when Arshad Khan spilled a catch in the deep.

Even in the death overs, another opportunity went begging in the field, when Washington Sundar dropped Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who scored a sensational 82 runs off 44 balls.

The Cricket News Opinion: GT must improve their fielding to keep title aspirations on track

Four dropped catches are not simply poor execution; it reflects something deeper about concentration and pressure management.

For KKR, who needed every run they could get, this was a gift they could not have asked for more generously. Gujarat will bounce back, they are too good a side not to, but this performance leaves a question mark that will take more than one clean night in the field to erase.

They are most likely to qualify for the playoffs, but they must be more clinical if they want to keep their title aspirations on track.
