Chaos in the Outfield: Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal's Costly Collision Goes Viral
In what was meant to be a turning point for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a moment of sheer miscommunication ended up sparking one of the most talked-about blunders in the IPL 2025 season so far. Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal found themselves at the center of a dramatic mix-up during the match against Mumbai Indians — and it’s safe to say, the internet is still buzzing.
It all unfolded during the 12th over of the Mumbai Indians' chase at the Wankhede Stadium. Suryakumar Yadav skied a mistimed shot off a slower delivery from Dayal, giving RCB what should have been a golden opportunity to dismiss one of MI’s biggest threats. The ball soared high into the Mumbai sky, and as it came down, both Jitesh Sharma and Yash Dayal went for it — but neither called for it. In the confusion, they collided mid-run, and the catch was spilled right in front of a roaring crowd.

It was an awkward and painful moment — both literally and figuratively. Jitesh appeared to take a hit on his face, and frustration was etched across both players’ expressions. But it wasn’t just them who were visibly shaken. Virat Kohli, watching from the field, couldn’t hide his rage. The usually composed RCB icon was caught on camera throwing his cap to the ground in frustration and yelling in anger — a clip that quickly went viral. Meanwhile, in the stands, Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, was seen reacting gleefully to the blunder, a moment that instantly made the rounds across social media platforms.
Despite the fumble, RCB managed to regain control. In a twist of redemption, Dayal eventually dismissed Suryakumar Yadav, caught by Liam Livingstone near the square-leg boundary. RCB had put on a mighty total of 221, thanks to explosive fifties from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar, alongside impactful cameos by Devdutt Padikkal and Jitesh himself.
The incident, though, sparked broader conversations — not just about fielding communication but about pressure, timing, and the sheer unpredictability of T20 cricket. Jitesh Sharma, who has otherwise shown composure and skill with both bat and gloves, found himself in an unfortunate spotlight, proving once again that in high-stakes matches, even seasoned players can falter under pressure.
As fans continue to debate the moment, replaying it from every possible angle, one thing’s for sure: this wasn’t just a dropped catch — it was a dropped opportunity, and perhaps, a dropped chapter in what could’ve been a clean highlight reel for both RCB and Jitesh Sharma.
