Jordan Cox dived forward in the 10th over of Gujarat Titans' innings and appeared to take a clean catch off Washington Sundar — the on-field umpire gave it out — but the third umpire overturned the decision after replays suggested the ball grazed the turf. RCB captain Rajat Patidar was furious, confronting umpire Nitin Menon at square leg, and Tim David's reaction to the same decision escalated into a separate disciplinary incident.
