Ishan Kishan walks off without edge or appeal as match-fixing allegations erupt in IPL 2025

A shocking incident involving the star SRH wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan took place during the 41st match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

Ishan Kishan walked back to the dugout without edging the delivery and even without the Mumbai Indians (MI) players appealing for the dismissal at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Massive drama during the SRH vs MI clash

The incident happened in the third over of the innings when Deepak Chahar was bowling and Ishan Kishan was batting along with Abhishek Sharma.

On the first ball of the over, Deepak Chahar bowled a tame length delivery to Ishan Kishan that angled down the leg side. The keeper, Ryan Rickelton, collected and was about to just go through with business.

The on-field umpire partially raised his hands to signal a wide, and players from the Mumbai Indians didn’t appeal for caught behind. However, Ishan Kishan shockingly started walking back as he thought there was an edge.

The umpire looked confused for a while, and after a polite enquiry for a catch from Deepak Chahar, the umpire raised his finger to declare the batter out.

MI players came in running to appreciate Kishan for his decision. However, the UltraEdge replay confirmed that Kishan didn’t edge the ball, and he walked back without any reason for 4-ball 1.
