SRH vs MI: Navjot Singh Sidhu Accuses Mumbai Indians of Match-Fixing During Live Match After Ishan Kishan’s Strange Dismissal
Navjot Singh Sidhu sparked a storm on social media by his cryptic post on Mumbai Indians after Ishan Kishan’s strange dismissal without an appeal.
Former cricketer and commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu has raised eyebrows with his sharp remarks after Ishan Kishan’s strange dismissal during the IPL 2025 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians.
Ishan Kishan was dismissed for just 1 run in the third over, caught behind by Ryan Rickelton off Deepak Chahar. What puzzled fans and experts alike was the way the dismissal happened. The bowler didn’t appeal, the keeper didn’t appeal, but umpire Vinod Seshan lifted his finger — only after a slight delay and a gesture from Hardik Pandya.
Kishan walked back without even reviewing the decision, despite replays clearly showing no edge and no spike on UltraEdge. The incident led to a massive buzz online, with fans accusing the umpire of poor decision-making and some even calling it suspicious.
Navjot Singh Sidhu took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
“Buying trouble is as easy as pie, but the carrying charges run pretty high … have you ever seen an umpire rule someone out without an appeal?”
Sidhu’s cryptic but bold remark has fueled more debate around the match, with many netizens interpreting it as an indirect accusation of match-fixing. Some even supported Sidhu’s statement, claiming the decision seemed pre-decided.
Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad collapsed after that dismissal, losing wickets in quick succession and failing to recover from the early damage. They managed to put just 143 runs on the board.
