SRH vs MI: Mumbai Indians Hit by Match-Fixing Allegations in the Middle of IPL 2025
Fans accuse Mumbai Indians of match-fixing after Ishan Kishan’s strange dismissal against SRH.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a poor start in their IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. Both openers, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan, were dismissed early, leaving the team under pressure right from the beginning.
Ishan Kishan Walks Off Without Appeal
Ishan Kishan, who made a century in his first match this season, has not been consistent since then. In this match too, he got out early for just 1 run from 4 balls. The incident happened in the third over, bowled by Deepak Chahar. It was a ball going down the leg side, and Kishan tried to flick it but missed.
What surprised everyone was that Kishan started walking back even though there was no loud appeal. The bowler, Deepak Chahar, did not appeal at all. Umpire Vinod Seshan slightly raised his finger but then hesitated. It was only after Hardik Pandya gestured from mid-off that the umpire gave the decision again. Kishan smiled, accepted it, and walked off. He even got a friendly pat on the back from Pandya.
Fans React With Confusion and Anger
Replays showed no edge on UltraEdge. There was no spike when the ball passed the bat. This made fans angry and suspicious. Many called it a “bizarre” moment and accused Kishan of walking off too easily. Some even joked about match-fixing. The fact that Kishan didn’t even think about taking a review made it worse.
The incident has now become a hot topic on social media, with many questioning the umpiring, the decision, and Kishan’s behaviour. Let’s take a look at some of the reactions:
