During the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, Ishan Kishan made a surprising decision to walk back to the dugout despite the on-field umpire not initially ruling him out. It was only after Kishan started walking back that the umpire raised his finger, leading to confusion and controversy.
The incident occurred during the third over bowled by Deepak Chahar, when Kishan attempted to guide a delivery down leg side but missed, with the wicketkeeper collecting the ball. As the umpire was signaling a wide, Kishan made the unexpected choice to walk off the field. Interestingly, no one from the Mumbai Indians side appealed for the dismissal, and even the umpire did not initially notice any edge.
Subsequent video replays did not show any spike on the snick-o-meter, indicating that there was no contact between the ball and Kishan’s bat. This raised questions about Kishan’s decision to walk despite there being no clear evidence of an edge.
The incident left fans and commentators puzzled, with many speculating on the reasons behind Kishan’s unusual decision. Despite the controversy, the match continued, with both teams giving their best on the field.
In the end, the incident added an unexpected twist to the match and showcased the unpredictability of cricket, where even experienced players like Ishan Kishan can make surprising decisions that leave everyone scratching their heads.
