WATCH: Karthik-Patidar Fume After Umpire Drinks Water During Live Match

The match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was a high-scoring game that saw RCB dominate from start to finish. Batting first, RCB put up a huge total of 250/3 in 20 overs, with their batters playing aggressively right from the beginning. Tim David, who is one of the most dangerous batsmen in IPL, was the standout performer and played a crucial innings, supported well by Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal.

In reply, CSK tried to keep up with the big target but kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They were eventually bowled out for 207 in 19.4 overs, falling short by 43 runs. On a lighter note, fans saw a light-hearted moment between Dinesh Karthik, Rajat Patidar and the match umpire during a strategic timeout.

Truth Behind Rajat Patidar and Match Umpire Clash

The video shows a quick and funny moment on the field as Dinesh Karthik brings a couple of energy drinks for RCB batters Rajat Patidar and Devdutt Padikkal. The on-field umpire, KN Ananthapadmanabhan, casually picks up one of the bottles. As soon as Patidar and the others start walking back toward him, he quickly gives the bottle back like nothing really happened.

Some fans think this wasn’t only about the drink; it took place during a strategic timeout that RCB didn’t seem to ask for. The players and Dinesh Karthik were asking the umpires why the break was called, and the bottle moment happened right in the middle of that confusion. So, the fun reactions may also be about the unexpected timeout.
