Royal Challengers Bengaluru decided to show their batting prowess at the Wankhede has they piled on an impressive 221 in the first innings. In reply, Mumbai lost two early wickets in the form of Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton as the visitors took complete control proceedings. However, with Suryakumar Yadav at the crease, the Mumbai faithful were certain they were still in the game, especially after Krunal Pandya dropped the gun batter in the 11th over.
However, SKY’s innings appeared to have come to a swift end in the next over when the Mumbai man decided to take on Yash Dayal. The bowler bowled a back of the hand slower delivery with SKY going for a big heave. The ball went straight into the air and Jitesh Sharma immediately came running for the catch. However, with Dayal under it, he caught the ball only to be clashed into by his keeper as the ball hit the ground. Not only was the chance lost but the bowler needed some medical assistance before he could complete the over.
The Twitterati were not pleased with the effort and made their feelings clear on social media.
Collapsed!

RRR issue
I know the RRR is 15, but you don’t drop SKY, that too twice. This was a relatively easy chance. Really poor from Jitesh and Dayal. Someone had to call loud and clear. Basic stuff, taught to kids in cricket coaching.

Yes
Mandbudhi Dayal.
Should’ve let Jitesh take that catch.— Aditya (@adityakumar480) April 7, 2025
