Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, “He should have shown his full potential in previous games where he conceded runs and could not make big impact. He tried well yesterday but it was too late.”

“That’s Sports need Patience. Every player of different countries Practice hard to achieve for their country. Sometimes time not in our favor or other sportsman perform so well. Do better in coming games,” wrote another fan.
