Jadeja bowled to Mayank, who couldn’t score, and there was a missed opportunity. RJ attempted to catch the ball, but Klaasen obstructed his view, causing him to drop it. It seems that the ball hit Klaasen’s back as he turned around, which made it difficult for RJ to see.
The ball was thrown in a high arc, and Mayank accidentally hit it with the side of his bat as he attempted to defend. In the 29th match of the Indian Premier League 2023, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a slow start against Chennai Super Kings on Friday evening.
They were 91/4 at the end of 13 overs, with four players already out. Mayank Agarwal, who came in at No. 6, needed to play aggressively. However, the second delivery he faced from Ravindra Jadeja resulted in an unexpected incident.
Jadeja, who had taken 2/16 off his three overs, bowled a tossed-up delivery that Mayank hit straight at Heinrich Klassen, who was at the non-strikers’ end. Jadeja attempted to catch the ball in the air, but Klassen had little time to move out of the way. This caused a collision between Jadeja and Klassen, resulting in a dropped catch.
Although Klassen couldn’t have avoided the collision, Jadeja was extremely angry afterward. A ball later, Klassen was returning to the non-strikers’ end after taking a single, and the two exchanged heated words. The on-field umpire had to intervene to separate them.
