Watch: Tim David aggressively attacks Dewald Brevis and Ravindra Jadeja during DRS controversy

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) big-hitter Tim David was seen having an intense discussion with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja during the DRS controversy in their IPL 2025 clash on Saturday, May 3, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Dewald Brevis came out to bat in the 17th over of Chennai Super Kings' chase of 214 runs, right after Ayush Mhatre’s brilliant knock of 94 came to an end. On his very first ball, bowled by Lungi Ngidi, Brevis was struck on the pads, and the umpire immediately gave him out LBW.

However, the DRS timer wasn’t shown on the big screen, leaving Brevis unaware of how quickly time was running out. By the time the South African big hitter decided to go for the review, the umpire told him the 15-second window had already closed.

Jadeja looked frustrated and had a heated exchange with the match officials, but the decision couldn’t be changed. Brevis had to return to the pavilion for a golden duck without a review. To make things worse for CSK, replays soon showed that the ball would have missed the stumps. If the review had been taken in time, Brevis would have stayed.

In the final over, Yash Dayal was given the tough job of defending 15 runs against the CSK. He struck a massive blow by removing MS Dhoni early in the over, putting RCB in control. The tension kept building as CSK brought the equation down to just 4 needed off the last ball.

But Dayal held his nerve and bowled a full delivery, which Shivam Dube could only nudge for a single, and RCB clinched a nail-biting two-run victory against the CSK. For the first time in 18 years of IPL history, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have completed a double over Chennai Super Kings in the same season.
