Fans rage after Jordan Cox catch ruled not out in IPL 2026 final as they recall Jason Holder's catch of Rajat Patidar
Jacon Duffy was on the verge of picking up GT's fourth wicket in the 10th over of the IPL 2026 final as Washington Sundar tried to hit a short ball but nicked it up in the air. Jordan Cox came running and took the catch and the RCB players started celebrating.
However, after a replay check of the catch, the third umpire ruled out the wicket as he opined that Cox's fingers were not underneath properly and the ball had touched the surface.
The decision enraged RCB fans as they recalled Jason Holder's catch of Rajat Patidar on April 30 in a league stage clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. After Holder took a clean catch of the RCB captain, the ball touched the surface of the ground as the all-rounder tried to get up from the ground, but the third umpire in that match gave it out.
RCB fans furiously reacted on social media after Duffy's wicket was ruled. They wrote:

Why was Jason Holder's catch of Rajat Patidar given out?
According to MCC law's 'Appeals and Dismissals', 33.3, "The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement."
The TV replay of the catch showed that after Holder took the catch, as he tried to get off the ground, some part of the ball touched the surface. However, the umpires were of the view that the West Indian was in full control of his body while trying to get up.

The Cricket News Opinion: RCB on the verge of winning consecutive IPL titles as GT batting crumble
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are now very close to winning their second consecutive IPL title as the Gujarat Titans batting lineup crumbled under pressure in the all-important game.
Josh Hazlewood and Rasik Salam starred with the ball for the defending champions as they lost five wickets before even putting up 100 runs on the board. It is unlikely that GT would up a massive total on the board and the star-studded RCB batting lineups are expected chase down the total comfortably in Ahmedabad.
