In a recent IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans, a controversial catch taken by Jason Holder led to a heated debate. Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif expressed his opinion that Rajat Patidar was 'unlucky' to be given out, as he believed the ball touched the ground during the catch attempt. Kaif noted that Holder was distracted while attempting the catch due to the presence of teammate Kagiso Rabada, which could have affected his focus. This incident occurred at a critical juncture in the match, as RCB struggled to post a total of 155 runs. The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill's explosive 43 runs off 18 balls, successfully chased down the target, winning the match by four wickets. The Titans' bowlers, particularly Arshad Khan, who took three wickets, played a pivotal role in restricting RCB's scoring.
