NEW DELHI: Cricket and entertainment often go hand in hand, and the IPL never fails to deliver its share of quirky moments. During the IPL 2025 clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday, an on-field umpire had what appeared to be a classic brainfade.
The incident occurred in the 10th over of Rajasthan’s innings when Krunal Pandya made a loud LBW appeal against Dhruv Jurel .
The umpire initially raised his finger to signal OUT, but Jurel immediately opted for a review. UltraEdge confirmed a clear inside edge, prompting the third umpire to overturn the decision.

Interestingly, even before the final verdict came from upstairs, the on-field umpire seemed to realize his error and quickly changed the call to NOT OUT — a rare and amusing moment of instant correction on live TV.
Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal struck impressive half-centuries to power Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) to a commanding 205/5 against Rajasthan Royals.
Kohli smashed a fluent 70 while Padikkal chipped in with a quickfire 50, the duo stitching together a solid 95-run partnership for the second wicket.
Chasing their first home win of the season, RCB found further momentum in the death overs with crucial cameos from Tim David (23) and Jitesh Sharma (20*), helping the team post their highest home total this season.

RCB fixing at its very best.. Ball clearly edged bat, umpire immediately raised his finger.. even after 3rd umpire decision, on field umpire is reluctant to reverse his decision
