Was the MI vs SRH IPL 2025 Clash Fixed? Ishan Kishan’s Dismissal Raises Eyebrows
In a bizarre IPL 2025 moment, Ishan Kishan walked off without appeal during SRH vs MI, despite UltraEdge confirming no contact. Ex-Pak pacer Junaid Khan hinted at match-fixing. Kishan’s exit sparked SRH’s collapse to 143/8, with MI chasing it down easily as Rohit Sharma scored 76 off 46 balls.
In the IPL 2025 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, a moment of controversy erupted during the 5th over of SRH’s innings when Ishan Kishan bizarrely walked off the field without an appeal. A delivery from Deepak Chahar missed Kishan’s bat and pad, yet he departed after the umpire raised his finger only after the walk-off began. UltraEdge confirmed no contact, sparking allegations of match-fixing.

Former Pakistan pacer Junaid Khan added fuel to the fire by tweeting “Daal mein kuch kala hai”, suggesting something was amiss. According to MCC’s Law 31.7, the umpire could have recalled Kishan if convinced he left under a misapprehension. However, no such action was taken. Kishan’s departure triggered a dramatic collapse, reducing SRH to 35 for 5, before they managed only 143 for 8 in 20 overs.
Trent Boult starred for Mumbai with a four-wicket haul, earning the Player of the Match title. In reply, Rohit Sharma’s 76 off 46 balls ensured an easy chase, securing MI’s consecutive win. The team’s form is reminiscent of their 2020 title-winning run, where they strung together five straight victories. The incident has raised questions over intent, process, and umpiring judgment.
