The incident took place in the 18th over of RCB’s innings when David smashed Hardik Pandya for a massive six over deep mid-wicket. The impact of the shot deformed the ball, forcing the umpire to call for a replacement. However, when a box of used balls was brought onto the field, David picked one up and began examining it.
Despite repeated instructions from the umpire to return the ball, David continued handling it for a brief period, visibly frustrating the official. After some delay, he eventually handed the ball back.
