England’s Jacob Bethell made only five as Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered a four-wicket defeat by Gujarat Titans<\/a> in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n

Left-hander Bethell, playing his third match of the season after an injury to England and RCB team-mate Phil Salt, cut one four but flicked his fifth delivery to square leg.<\/p>\n

With the 22-year-old set to be part of England’s Test team this summer, there has been debate<\/a> whether he would be better served preparing against the red ball in the County Championship.<\/p>\n

He has managed 39 runs across his three innings in the IPL.<\/p>\n

After he was dismissed, defending champions RCB lost regular wickets and were bowled out for 155 in 19.2 overs. Devdutt Padikkal was the highest scorer with 40, while Virat Kohli made 28.<\/p>\n

Amid the collapse, Kohli protested in the dugout when captain Rajat Patidar was given out caught by Jason Holder at fine leg.<\/p>\n

Holder appeared to drag the ball along the floor while diving to complete the catch but, after brief checks, Patidar was given out. <\/p>\n

Cricket’s laws state the fielder must be in control of both their body and the ball in completing the catch. <\/p>\n

After Kohli led the protests on the sidelines, RCB coach Andy Flower was seen in discussions with the fourth umpire.<\/p>\n

In the chase, India Test captain Shubman Gill hit 43 from 18 balls and England wicketkeeper Jos Buttler capitalised on being dropped on one in making 39 from 19.<\/p>\n

It meant, despite losing five wickets after reaching 57, Gujarat could edge home with 25 balls to spare.<\/p>\n

Gujarat stay fifth in the table but are now four points clear of Chennai Super Kings in sixth and two behind Rajasthan Royals in the fourth play-off place.<\/p>\n

RCB remain second and are a point behind Punjab Kings at the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England’s Jacob Bethell made only five as Royal Challengers Bengaluru suffered a four-wicket defeat by Gujarat Titans in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-559665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
