Explained: Why Rajat Patidar was given out despite RCB players' protest against Jason Holder's catch Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar, who has displayed stellar form in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, was dismissed for just 19 runs as the team suffered a major batting collapse against Gujarat Titans on Thursday.

Patidar tried to pull against Khan's short-pitch delivery and the ball went over the short fine leg. Kagiso Rabada and Jason Holder chased the ball and attempted to take a catch as Patidar did not hit it convincingly. In the end, Rabada realised Holder's presence and retracted himself as the West Indian all-rounder took a brilliant catch.

RCB challenged the decision and the TV replay showed that, while Holder took a clean catch, as he tried to get off the ground, some part of the ball touched the surface. Patidar waited on the ground for a long time but eventually the umpires stuck to their decision. RCB players, led by Virat Kohli, vehemently protested the dismissal and Kohli was even seen having an animated chat with the fourth umpire.
