The incident happened on the third ball of the eight over of the match.
Bowler Karn Sharma tossed it up to Tilak Varma, who stepped down the track to glance the ball towards fine leg. Topley, looked sharp as he sprinted to his left and dived after the ball in an attempt to stop it. His effort though was a disaster for him as he landed awkwardly on the ball and seemed to have rolled his shoulder. He immediately grimaced in pain as the physios quickly came over to have a look.

The broadcasters revealed that Reece Topley suffered a dislocation and it has been put back in place, with the injury ruling him out from the game.
Earlier in his second over, he had taken the wicket of MI’s Cameroon Green, his first in the IPL. A fullish inswinging ball crashed into the stumps to send back the Aussie batter.
RCB’s Mohammed Siraj and Dinesh Karthik had a collision during an attempted catch to send back MI skipper Rohit Sharma.
