The RCB vs GT match concluded in a defeat for the hosts, but GT all-rounder Jason Holder’s catch in the dismissal of RCB skipper Rajat Patidar became a matter of debate. However, Bhuvneshwar Kumar said that based on the visuals displayed on the giant screen, they believed the ball had made contact with the turf as well.
“I wasn’t there, but from what I saw, the ball touched the ground. I don’t know what the umpire told them, or if it was within the laws of the game, I have no idea about that. However, we wanted the umpire to take a closer look at it,” Bhuvneshwar told the media after the match.
“I wouldn’t say anything went wrong, but rather that they batted well. It often comes down to whether it is a good day or a bad day. We lost the toss and were asked to bat first; we tried our best in both departments, but the result is that we lost,” he again shared.
“In a long tournament of 14 matches, you cannot be perfect in every department in every game. Our batting has been good throughout the tournament-we have scored 200 or more previously. This time, we were not up to the mark, but these things happen. It is about complementing each other; sometimes the bowlers give away 200 runs and the batsmen chase it down without complaint. Today, it was our duty as bowlers to try our best to defend a low score,” he concluded.
