Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 1st Match, Indian Premier League 2026 - Player Highlights

Romario Shepherd to Heinrich Klaasen, out Caught by Phil Salt!! Salt is celebrating but he was very close to the ropes there. Umpire will send it upstairs to check if the catch is clean. Back of a length, heaved across the line and goes very high. It's Salt at the midwicket boundary and he goes down while taking the catch, doesn't stay on his feet. Replays don't seem very conclusive - very hard to say if some part of his back is touching the cushions. "I don't see any movement of the cushions," says the third umpire. OUT flashes on the big screen, much to the delight of the partisan home crowd. Klaasen doesn't seem too pleased. He's having a word with the fourth umpire before making his way to the dugout.
