‌ILT20 | Twitter lauds seething Hosein's redemption with a double blow post-sitter slip

The 18th match of the ILT20 did not unfold in the desired fashion for Akeal Hosein as he dropped a rare sitter of well-going Johnson Charles after being clobbered for back-to-back sixes inside the powerplay. However, the Caribbean all-rounder made a strong impact with the ball, came back on top in his third over to snap two wickets in consecutive deliveries, and celebrated in his style.

🧜On the first ball of the sixth over, Johnson intended to pull a short ball from Fazalhaq Farooqi and ended up incurring a top-edge flying down to mid-on region. Hosein failed to stick his attention on the ball and spilled a regulation chance. However, the dropped chance did not haunt long for Hosein and the MI Emirates as the all-rounder took matters into his own hands. 

🐻Fifteen balls later, a struggling Charles looked to sweep a fuller-than-a-length delivery and got a thud on the back pad. To his surprise, the umpire gestured for out, and even a review failed to save the Caribbean swashbuckler as the ball drifted away after pitching on the leg stump line and went on to beat the forward defense by a thin margin. 

It was followed by yet another dismissal when a straighter-kept good-length delivery trapped Basil Hameed after the Emirati cricketer intended the defense on the wrong line. Realizing that he was plumb in front, the right-handed batter trudged off the field without even reviewing and a seething Hosein broke into jubilation after redeeming double the expense he conceded a couple of overs back, resulting in a frenzy in Twitterverse.
