Gujarat Titans secured a four-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL 2026, but the match's defining moment was the controversial dismissal of Rajat Patidar.

Patidar was caught by Jason Holder off Arshad Khan during the eighth over. Replays were inconclusive regarding whether the ball touched the ground before Holder gained control, but the third umpire upheld the out decision. afsport.lat

RCB players and coaching staff, including Virat Kohli and Andy Flower, expressed frustration with the ruling. Former spinner Ravichandran Ashwin supported the decision, explaining that Holder's large hands likely prevented the ball from touching the floor.
