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.

Rajat Patidar Caught by Holder — Kohli's Furious Argument with the Umpires

Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru

30 April 2026

Rajat Patidar was given out caught by Jason Holder in the deep during RCB's match against Gujarat Titans on 30 April 2026, in a third-umpire decision that triggered one of the season's most heated on-field arguments. Replays showed Holder still moving and sliding as he completed the take, and Aakash Chopra publicly described the umpire as "the villain" of the call. Virat Kohli, fielding when the next innings began, walked across to argue with the umpires — a clip that was the most-shared cricket video in India for 24 hours.
