In the 41st game of IPL 2025 between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, a rare and controversial incident occurred in IPL history. SRH batter Ishan Kishan walked off the field believing he had edged a delivery from Deepak Chahar.
Surprisingly, no MI players appealed convincingly, and replays later confirmed there was no contact between bat and ball.Kishan returned to the pavilion after contributing just 1 run from 4 balls.
Such incidents have occurred in the past, with players like Sachin Tendulkar and Kane Williamson walking off after acknowledging edges, even when umpires remained unmoved. However, Kishan’s decision was based on a misjudgment, making it one of the most perplexing self-dismissals in IPL history.
Following this early setback, SRH’s innings collapsed like a pack of cards, leaving the team at 52/5 by the end of the 10th over in this crucial match. Currently placed ninth on the points table, every game is a do-or-die situation for SRH. Kishan’s decision to walk off without even consulting his partner could adversely affect the team’s chances in today’s match. SRH cannot afford moments of misjudgment, especially from key top-order players like Ishan Kishan.
