The skipper top-edged a ball to deep fine leg, where Jason Holder held onto a diving catch off the bowling of left-armer Mohammed Arshad Khan.
Holder seemed to have dragged the ball along the turf after completing the catch, but the third umpire deemed that the West Indian had control of the ball and had his fingers underneath the ball.
Patidar and Virat Kohli were seen arguing with the fourth umpire standing on the sidelines, but the decision made by TV umpire Abhijeet Bhattacharjya stood.
According to rule number 33.2.2.1 and 33.3 of the IPL playing conditions, “A catch will be fair if the ball is held in the hand or hands of a fielder, even if the hand holding the ball is touching the ground, or is hugged to the body, or lodges in the external protective equipment worn by a fielder, or lodges accidentally in a fielder’s clothing.”
“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 own movement.”
The dismissal pushed RCB to 79 for three in the eight over after Kohli had provided a quick start with his 13-ball 28.
