GT vs MI: [Watch] Hardik Pandya and Sai Kishore Patch Up After Fiery On-Field Face-Off, Hugs Each Other
After a heated face-off during the match, Hardik Pandya and Sai Kishore hugged it out, showing there was no bad blood between them.
The ninth match of IPL 2025 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians saw an intense moment between Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya and Gujarat’s young spinner Sai Kishore.
During one of Sai Kishore’s overs, he exchanged a fierce stare with Hardik Pandya after a dot ball, leading to a heated face-off between the two. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with fans reacting to the unexpected tension between the two players.
However, after the match, Hardik Pandya was seen approaching Sai Kishore and giving him a hug, putting an end to any speculation of bad blood. Gujarat Titans had secured a 36-run victory over Mumbai Indians, and the gesture between the two players showed that the on-field aggression was just part of the game.
During the post-match press conference, Sai Kishore addressed the incident, saying, “We are really good friends. Inside the field, we are opponents, and that is how it should be.”
With this loss, Mumbai Indians have now suffered back-to-back defeats in IPL 2025, struggling to find momentum under Hardik Pandya’s leadership. Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans bounced back from their opening-game defeat against Punjab Kings and registered their first win of the season.
