Overview
- Patidar’s top‑edge to fine leg, which the third umpire upheld as a catch on Thursday in Ahmedabad, removed RCB’s captain during a steadying stand and GT later chased 155 with 25 balls to spare.
- RCB seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar said the team wanted a closer look at the low take and he felt the ball touched the turf, though he deferred to whatever the umpires applied under the law.
- Former West Indies quick Ian Bishop argued the visuals offered enough doubt for a not‑out call because Holder lacked complete control of the ball and his movement while sliding.
- Ex‑international umpire Anil Chaudhary said Holder’s palm rotated down and the ball contacted the ground before body control was established, while Ravichandran Ashwin backed the out decision and said the ball may not have touched the turf in Holder’s large hands.
- MCC Law 33.3 requires control of both ball and body before any ground contact, a standard that drew comparisons to Mitchell Starc’s 2023 Lord’s case and renewed focus on how broadcast angles can be inconclusive for low catches.
