Ishan Kishan's Bizarre Walk-Off Sparks Confusion in SRH vs MI Match


Ishan Kishan's unusual walk-off without waiting for the umpire's decision sparks debate in Sunrisers Hyderabad's loss to Mumbai Indians.



Sunrisers Hyderabad's struggles in the Indian Premier League continued as they suffered another defeat, this time at the hands of the Mumbai Indians. The loss further jeopardized their playoff hopes, leaving fans and pundits concerned about the team's prospects.


In a bizarre incident, Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Ishan Kishan walked off the field after just one run, only to be dismissed caught behind to Deepak Chahar in the next over. Kishan's self-inflicted dismissal has sparked confusion and debate among fans and experts, adding to the team's woes.


The left-handed batter attempted a leg glance against Deepak Chahar, but he began to walk off without waiting for the umpire's decision, despite no appeal from the bowler or wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton. Umpire Vinod Seshan initially seemed poised to signal a wide but instead gave Kishan out as he departed the field.


However, Ultra Edge replays revealed no spike, indicating that there was likely no contact between the bat and ball. Mumbai Indians eventually bowled out Sunrisers Hyderabad for a below-par 143-8, and then chased down the target with ease, winning by seven wickets with 4.2 overs to spare. Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya patted Kishan on the back for walking without waiting for the umpire's decision.




Virender Sehwag described Ishan Kishan's actions as a “brain-fade moment,” saying, “I think it was one of those brain-fade moments for Ishan Kishan. I can understand if a player walks after he has edged the ball. In this case, you have not nicked it and the umpire has not declared you out either - so why walk?”


Sehwag speculated about what might have led to Kishan's decision, stating, “I don't know what sound he heard - maybe the glove strap hit something, maybe the bat handle was loose and it creaked. Only Ishan Kishan can tell you what he heard.” The incident occurred during Sunrisers Hyderabad's match against Mumbai Indians, which the latter won comfortably by seven wickets.


Mumbai Indians rose to third place in the league table after their fourth consecutive win, while Sunrisers Hyderabad slipped to ninth place with six defeats in eight matches. The 2016 champions, led by Australia captain Pat Cummins, are struggling to find their footing in the 10-team league.
