Former India cricketers Virender Sehwag and Navjot Singh Sidhu had differing opinions on Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Ishan Kishan’s controversial dismissal during the match against Mumbai Indians. The incident occurred when Ishan walked off after attempting a shot despite no appeal from the Mumbai Indians players. The umpire initially called it a wide ball but then changed his decision and ruled Ishan out. Sidhu criticized the umpire for making the decision without an appeal, while Sehwag questioned Ishan’s honesty and advised him to wait for the umpire’s decision. Ishan’s dismissal continued his poor form in IPL 2025, with just 33 runs in the next seven innings after his century in the season opener. Sehwag emphasized the importance of letting the umpire make the decision and not taking matters into one’s own hands. The controversial dismissal sparked debate among fans and experts about sportsmanship and fair play in cricket.
