In the game of cricket, it is extremely important for the players to grab every opportunity they get and so when they fail to do so, a lot of hatred is thrown towards them by the fans. Marco Jansen had the same experience against DC as he missed taking a decisive double in the last over.

The game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals went down to the wire with both teams ending up with low totals. However, when SRH required nine runs from two balls, a bizarre act from Marco Jansen raised many eyebrows he also faced a lot of criticism for snatching away a probable opportunity of a victory from the team.

Mukesh Kumar was bowling the 20th over with the duo of Washington Sundar and Jansen batting at the crease. With nine runs required from the last two deliveries, Mukesh fired in a full length delivery but Sundar played an aerial shot between deep midwicket and long on. Delhi somehow managed to keep the ball in as Ripal made his way to the ball and after a stumble threw it back at the keeper. It was a simple two runs for SRH which would have left the hosts with a chance to force a Super Over with a six of the last ball. However, a surprise was yet to unfold in front of the viewers’ eyes.

The replays showed that Sundar was willing to come on strike but Jansen refused the double. The blunder meant that SRH needed eight off the last delivery with Jansen on strike. The Twitteratti were not pleased with what had happened and shocked Hyderabad fans took to their favorite social media platform to vent their anger.

Perfect way to lose!

What was on his mind?

Brain fade moment!

Strange running from Sundar and Jansen. Could've at least given themselves a chance at taking this into the Super over with a 2 there.

How can Jansen be this irresponsible?
