Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma were at the crease as Deepak Chahar was given the third over. Chahar bowled Kishan a length delivery that angled down the leg side on the opening ball of the over. Ryan Rickelton, the wicketkeeper for MI, collected the ball cleanly but did not react in any way.
At Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) are playing the 41st game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
After winning the toss, MI captain Hardik Pandya decided to bowl first. Trent Boult made a breakthrough early in the game by dismissing Travis Head in the second over.
The on-field umpire unexpectedly signalled the hitter out by partially raising his hand and then abruptly raising his finger. The MI captain Hardik Pandya made a feeble attempt to persuade the fielding side, and Rickelton and Chahar were mainly unconvinced.
Even though the MI players remained mute, Ishan Kishan trusted the umpire’s call and left right away without protesting.
In a sportsmanlike gesture, the rival captain patted his helmet lightly as he walked back.
There was no spike at all, though, when the announcers used ultra-edge to show the delivery, suggesting that the bat and ball were not in contact.
At the same time, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are suffering at ninth place with just two wins this season, while the Mumbai Indians (MI) are now in sixth place with four wins. As the league competition moves into its pivotal phase, both clubs will be itching to win this match. A victory could boost Mumbai’s chances of making the playoffs, while SRH will try to maintain their slender aspirations and move up the standings.
