The ongoing IPL 2025 season has been filled with controversies, including the recent MI vs SRH match which saw a controversial no-ball decision. During the match, MI opener Ryan Rickelton was controversially given not out due to a technical mistake by SRH wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen. Rickelton was initially given out but the decision was overturned by the third umpire as Klaasen had his gloves marginally ahead of the stumps when the ball was delivered. This led to a strange no-ball decision based on technicality, which proved to be a key moment in the match as Rickelton went on to score 31 runs off 23 balls. KKR spinner Varun Chakaravarthy disagreed with the third umpire’s decision, suggesting that a dead ball should have been given instead. Despite the controversy, MI managed to secure a win by four wickets, with Tilak Varma remaining unbeaten at the Wankhede Stadium. The win marked MI’s second consecutive victory, with Jasprit Bumrah’s return from injury proving to be pivotal in their campaign revival.
