Royal Challengers bowler Mohammed Siraj and wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik collided head on with each other in an attempt to take Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s catch in their Indian premier League encounter on Sunday.

Rohit had gone for a pull but he ended up getting a top edge and as the ball went up in the air, Siraj and Karthik both ran towards it take the catch. Both did not see each other and crashed into each other as the ball dropped safely giving a reprieve to Rohit.

After both Siraj and Karthik dragged back to their feet, Karthik seemed to gesture that he had called for the catch. Siraj replied that he didn’t hear any. Perhaps, his cry for catch was lost in the deafening noise in the crowd.
