The Royal Challengers Bengaluru, for the second time in this season of the competition, have struggled with the bat in the power play. They have not lost two or more wickets in the first ten overs in the majority of their matches, and saw untimely wickets only when they faced the Rajasthan Royals at the start of the season.
However, against the GT bowlers at Ahmedabad, they have struggled despite their batters getting off to a promising start. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Tim David were dismissed in no time after having gotten to promising starts.
Virat Kohli started the game with some domination against the veteran pacer Kagiso Rabada, extending his authority over the GT bowlers from the last game. However, Rabada too backed himself and dismissed the Indian veteran in the very next over.
Jason Holder picked out one of the greatest catches in this season of the IPL as he settled nicely under a ball that went sky high and was travelling towards one of those empty pockets in the ground.
As Rajat Patidar looked to play a lofted glance shot off Arshad Khan’s first over after having smashed him for a six off the first ball, the ball went up high into the night sky, allowing Jason Holder to run in from square leg and settle nicely under the ball.
Holder was in full control as he settled under the ball with those big fingers covering the ball entirely and had it in the air before he scratched the surface of the ball on the ground in his attempt to get back on his feet.

After having completed the catch, Jason Holder slid the ball onto the ground, but the umpires ruled Rajat Patidar out, and the RCB den, including the veteran cricketer Virat Kohli, did not look impressed with the decision.
While they all were on their feet protesting against the dismissal, the umpires considered that Holder had his fingers under the ball and had also completed the catch and kept it in the air for a much longer time before he slid it on the field.
Alongside the head coach, Andy Flower, who looked much agitated, Virat Kohli also seemingly lost his cool as he tried to explain his point to the fourth umpire along the sidelines of play. This might cost RCB in their fairplay points, while some danger also looms over the veteran cricketer for his conduct.
Jason 'Superman' Holder has clung to every ball that game at him in this clash
Jason Holder has been seen almost everywhere on the field for the Gujarat Titans. The big man from Barbados has been in every catching position and has contributed to all of the four wickets that fell within those 20 balls.
Be it with the ball or on the field, Holder has delivered at his very best. He has been clinging to the ball everywhere on the field. His second catch in the game was a sharp catch to dismiss Tim David. He used his height to great advantage and held onto that one off Rashid Khan’s bowling.
He then took another simple catch to dismiss Krunal Pandya, which was the sixth wicket to fall for the Challengers. Holder, after the catch of Patidar, was introduced into the attack for his second spell by Shubman Gill, and he dismissed an out-of-form Jitesh Sharma with the very first ball he bowled.
