Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 The match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians watched a bizarre incident as the dismissal of Ishan Kishan created a big controversy. During the third over of the SRH innings, Kishan tried to play a delivery from Deepak four towards the leg side, but disappeared. Wicket-keeper Ryan Ryyan Ricelton collected it behind the stumps and Kishan decided to return to the dugout despite having no appeal to MI players. On-field umpire Vinod Saishan was going to give wide indication, but Kishan went back as decided to raise his finger in a moment. Kishan’s decision left everyone as Replay showed that there was no lead in the incident.
Was the umpire right to stop or not to stop Kishan?
MCC’s law 31.7 says – “An umpire will intervene if a batsman is not given out, left under the misunderstanding of the wicket to be out. The umpire will call and sign the dead ball and signal to stop any further action by the fielding side to stop any further action.
“A batsman can be called back at any time when the ball comes in the game for the next delivery, unless it is the final wicket of the innings, in which it should be immediately when the umpire gets out of the ground.”
Therefore, the umpire may have called Kishan back if he was convinced that there was no edge. However, he decided to give him the batsman’s action and body language.
