During the IPL 2026 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings, a comical incident occurred during the drinks interval. RCB captain Rajat Patidar, head coach Andy Flower, and batting coach Dinesh Karthik were left fuming when they couldn’t find their water bottle, only to discover that an on-field umpire was using it. The trio confronted the umpire, who tried to shift the blame to a third person. The matter was eventually resolved, but it provided entertainment for the fans.
In the match, RCB posted their highest-ever IPL total of 250/3, with Patidar, Devdutt Padikkal, and Tim David leading the charge. CSK put up a fight in response but fell short by 43 runs, getting bowled out for 207. Sanju Samson failed again, while Sarfaraz Khan impressed with a quick 50. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the bowlers for RCB with 3/41.
The victory placed RCB at the top of the IPL 2026 points table with a superior net run rate. On the other hand, CSK languished at the bottom with three defeats.
