After the second ball of the 18th over of the first innings, RCB batsmen Tim David and Jitesh Sharma were in the middle of the crease as David tried to explain something the ball showed.

As David juggled the ball, one of the referees tried to remove it, but David stood his ground. After a while, another referee came in and settled things. Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma also entered the batting cage and urged the umpires to intervene. Sharma and David had a brief chat after the match resumed.
