Ishan Kishan had a massive brain-fade moment during SunRisers Hyderabad's IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

He, however, stopped mid-way. Just then the MI players enquired for a catch. The umpire who had his hand partially raised, gave Kishan out.

The incident happened on the fifth ball of the first over, bowled by Khaleel Ahmed, with MI chasing 177 at the Wankhede Stadium.

Hardik Pandya's Blunt Statement After MI's Win Over CSK: "175-180 Was Below-Par"

With his side scoring an emphatic win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya lauded the partnership between Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav and said the team does not worry about their ex-captain's batting form. Rohit and Suryakumar's explosive century partnership helped MI win by nine wickets. MI are now placed sixth in the points table. "The way I think we are playing the sport, we knew it was going to be a high-scoring game and we took the percentage. The way Rohit and Suryakumar bat, it is a relief from outside. You do not have to worry about Rohit's form, when he comes good, we know the opposition will be out of the game and the way Surya batted it was great as well, that partnership took the game away. We are sticking to basics. We are playing simple cricket and we are sticking to our plans," Hardik said during the post-match presentation.
