Kane Williamson’s reputation of being the nice guy of cricket took a hard hit when netizens went after him for claiming a catch when replays indicated that the ball had touched the ground.
What happened was that Jos Buttler tried to clear cover and Williamson dived to brilliantly grab the ball. To the naked eye, it looked clean and Williamson claimed it.

Buttler was already headed back when replays showed the ball had made contact with the turf. Williamson was quick to apologise but fans were not pleased that he had claimed it to begin with.
It pretty much became a hot topic of discussion. Take a look:
England eventually won the game by 20 runs to stay in the hunt for a semifinal berth of the T20 World Cup. New Zealand are also well within range of making it to the final 4.
