Huge drama! Hardik Pandya dismisses Travis Head on no-ball, Nita Ambani shocked
Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya is having a terrific time with the ball in the ongoing game against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
In what has been an uncharacteristic Wankhede pitch, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya is showing his team the way with the ball. The premier all-rounder has bowled incredible lines and lengths and has made run-scoring hard for the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters.
Hardik Pandya provided his team with the crucial breakthrough of Abhishek Sharma and, after that, put pressure on the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters. The all-rounder also made life tough for Travis Head, who had a tough outing in the ongoing match.
Your daily dose of cricket!
On the 4th ball of the 10th over, Hardik Pandya bowled a full delivery at the stumps, to which Travis Head whipped it off the pads and picked out Will Jacks perfectly at deep mid-wicket. As he was off towards the dugout, the no-ball siren rang to stun the Mumbai fans.
Hardik Pandya checked with umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal and started his walk back to his run-up. What caught the attention of many was the reaction of the Mumbai Indians’ owners, Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani.
As the players and the owners, and the staff were celebrating, the sound of the siren stunned them. Nita Ambani, who was on the sidelines of the boundary ropes, couldn’t believe it as her joy turned into disappointment within seconds.

Pandya, on the other hand, then didn’t finish his spell on high as he was taken for runs in the last overs. The all-rounder removed one wicket and gave away 42 runs in the 4 overs that he bowled in the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
But, he played a solid hand with the bat, scoring 21 runs off just 9 balls, slamming 3 fours and 1 six during his stay at the crease. Thanks to his heroics, Mumbai Indians chased the target of 163 runs with ease to win their second consecutive game.
