The Chennai Super Kings duo of Matheesha Pathirana and Ravindra Jadeja took a nasty crash on the field on Saturday evening as they faced Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Heading into the match, the home team look to go top of the table again after being displaced by the Mumbai Indians after a thumping win over the Rajasthan Royals earlier this week.
On the other hand, the CSK looked to salvage some points for pride as they linger at the bottom with just two wins in the season, leading to an early exit from the tournament.

Matheesha Pathirana collides with Ravindra Jadeja, misses Bethell's catch
The incident occurred at 3.5 over mark when Jacob Bethell tried to pull an Anshul Kamboj back-of-the-length delivery across the line.
The ball took a leading edge and went towards Pathirana, who was moving towards the ball from deep third. Jadeja, from his usual backward point, ran backwards and missed the Sri Lankan's call to catch the ball and went on to clash against him.
Jadeja, despite taking the catch, spilled the ball due to the collision and Bethell, from 27*(17), went on to score 55(33).
Jadeja literally caught the ball with both hands man
