😱 Ishan Kishan's Bizarre Walk-Off Leaves Fans Stunned in SRH vs MI Clash! 🏏​

TL;DR: In a jaw-dropping moment during the IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI), SRH's Ishan Kishan walked off the field believing he was out, despite no appeal from MI and the umpire initially signaling a wide. Replays confirmed there was no contact between bat and ball, leaving fans and experts baffled.​

😲 The Unbelievable Incident

During the third over of SRH's innings, Ishan Kishan attempted a leg glance off MI's Deepak Chahar. The ball missed the bat and was collected by wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton. Surprisingly, neither Chahar nor Rickelton appealed.​

Umpire Vinod Seshan was about to signal a wide when Kishan began walking off, indicating he thought he was out. Observing this, the umpire raised his finger, officially declaring him out.​

However, UltraEdge technology later showed no spike, confirming there was no contact between bat and ball.​

Former India opener Virender Sehwag described Kishan's decision as a "brain-fade moment," questioning why he walked without an appeal or umpire's decision.​

Commentator Harsha Bhogle expressed his confusion, stating, "You think you have seen it all after all these years and yet I must admit the Ishan Kishan's dismissal leaves me perplexed."​

📜 MCC Rule 31.7

According to MCC's Law 31.7, if a batter leaves the field under a misapprehension of being out, the umpire should intervene and recall the batter. In this case, the umpire chose not to recall Kishan, despite replays showing no contact.​

🏏 Match Outcome
