Jacob Bethells Gold Chain: Players are not just passionate about their game. Many players are also fond of wearing expensive things and jewellery. Cricketers also have such hobbies. One such cricketer is England's Jacob Bethel, who came to play against KKR wearing a gold chain around his neck. But, did anyone know that his gold chain was going to become news in this match? Amidst the fire in gold prices in India, when Jacob Bethel's chain fell from his neck while playing on the field of Raipur and he did not even realize it, then it became a topic of discussion.

What happened to Jacob Bethel's gold chain?

By the way, how did the gold chain disappear from the neck of RCB opener Jacob Bethel? So this is not a case related to chain snatching, rather the disappearance here means the chain falling, which the player was not even aware of. This incident happened in the RCB vs KKR match played on May 13 when Jacob Bethel was out.

The gold chain fell off when the ball hit the helmet.

On the second ball of the fourth over of RCB's innings, Jacob Bethel was caught out on a bouncer from Karthik Tyagi which came at a speed of 144 KMPH. That short pitched ball of Tyagi first hit Bethel's hand and then his helmet. When there was a shock due to the ball hitting the helmet, the gold chain came off from the neck and fell down.

Bethel did not even know about the fall of the gold chain

Now Jacob Bethel was out and returned to the dugout as the ball was caught by Karthik Tyagi before it hit the ground. But in the meanwhile he did not even realize that his gold chain had fallen on the pitch itself.
