Jordan Cox's Catch Off Washington Sundar Overturned by Third Umpire in IPL 2026 Final — RCB's Rajat Patidar Confronts Umpire

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans

31 May 2026

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.

Tim David Throws Ice Bag at Umpire Nitin Menon in IPL 2026 Final — Banned for RCB's IPL 2027 Opener

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans

31 May 2026

Tim David threw an ice bag at umpire Nitin Menon during the IPL 2026 final after the Washington Sundar catch was overturned — his third Level 1 breach of the season. Fined 50% of his match fee and handed two demerit points (bringing his 2026 season total to five), he crossed the threshold for a match ban and was suspended from RCB's opening game of IPL 2027, even as his team lifted the title that night.
