After India lost the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill, KL Rahul had a moment of frustration when he handed an easy catch to Dushan Hemantha during the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 match against Sri Lanka. Following the missed centuries of Gill and Kohli at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, expectations were high for Rahul to elevate India's score, but his dismissal left the crowd, including his wife Athiya Shetty, stunned.

In the 39.2nd over, Rahul faced a delivery that stopped a bit as he attempted a drive. He hesitated and checked the shot, and the ball bounced more than expected despite being a regular length delivery. Unable to control the shot, Rahul gave an easy catch to the fielder, departing with 21 runs from 19 balls, including 2 fours.
