Watch: Ishan Kishan's Massive Brain-Fade, Walks Off Despite Being Not Out vs MI. Umpire's Reaction Adds To Confusion
Ishan Kishan had a massive brain-fade moment during SunRisers Hyderabad's IPL 2025 match against Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The incident was so bizarre that the commentators said that they had not seen anything like this. It happened on the first ball of the third over. Deepak Chahar's delivery angled down the leg side and was caught by wicketkeeper MI Ryan Rickleton. Everything seemed normal, but just then Ishan Kishan started walking off. 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.
"No Point Coming To Bat For 2 Balls": Rishabh Pant Torn Apart Over No. 7 Stunt
Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) thumping defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2025 has led to heavy criticism of captain Rishabh Pant, mainly due to one tactical blunder committed by the team.

The gamble backfired as LSG could only manage 159/6 with Pant getting bowled on the final over of the innings by Mukesh.
"No More Excuses, Take Control": Rishabh Pant Sent 'Captaincy Reminder' After Horror LSG Show
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant has proved to be a Rs 27 crore flop in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. With just one half-century to his name, Pant hasn't lived up to the 'record' price tag he was bought for. In the match against his former side Delhi Capitals, Pant came out to bat at the No. 7 spot, promoting the likes of Abdul Samad, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller over him. As LSG went on to lose the contest, former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and India batter Ambati Rayudu asked to quit giving excuses and become responsible for his and his team's performances.

RR Feeling Jos Buttler's Absence, KKR Under-Utilising Andre Russell: Anil Kumble
Legendary Anil Kumble reckons Rajasthan Royals' decision to not retain Jos Buttler and Kolkata Knight Riders' improper utilisation of Andre Russell are factors that have contributed significantly to the struggles of the former IPL winners thus far. Having played eight matches each so far, the defending champions KKR have lost five while the Royals have endured defeats in six. In a select media interaction on Wednesday, JioStar expert Kumble said, "Jos Buttler is someone who sort of was the key player for Rajasthan Royals for a while. He was instrumental in single-handedly doing damage to the opposition."
IPL 2025: RCB Eye Home Improvement Against Struggling Rajasthan Royals
Struggling to find form in their own den, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to regain control of their IPL campaign at home when they meet a floundering Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. RCB's three defeats at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in as many matches offer one of the biggest paradoxes of this edition. An outfit that has steam-rolled opposition in all parts of the country has been left chasing shadows in their own backyard. The RCB batters have appeared strangely subdued and their bowlers seem to have forgotten the lengths to adopt here.
