In an unusual incident during Wednesday's IPL match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians , SRH wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan walked off after a delivery from Deepak Chahar despite no apparent contact between bat and ball, leading to his dismissal amid their batting collapse in Hyderabad.
The left-handed Kishan, who had just scored his first run in the previous over, attempted to play a delivery from Chahar that was drifting down the leg side.

MI wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton collected the ball, but neither he nor the bowler appealed for a caught behind. On-field umpire Vinod Seshan was about to signal a wide.
Unexpectedly, Kishan walked away, indicating he had edged the ball to the keeper, prompting Seshan to raise his finger for the dismissal.
MI captain Hardik Pandya, who had made a half-hearted appeal, appreciated Kishan's gesture by patting him on his helmet and shoulders.
Replay analysis revealed no contact between bat and ball, with UltraEdge showing no spike as the ball passed the left-hander's bat.
Who's that IPL player?
While batters typically know when they've edged the ball, the decision was particularly significant given SRH's ninth position on the points table and the favorable batting conditions. Kishan's dismissal left SRH struggling at 9/2 in the third over.
"You think you have seen it all after all these years and yet I must admit the Ishan Kishan's dismissal leaves me perplexed," commented Harsha Bhogle on X, expressing his surprise at the incident.
