Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and chose to bowl first at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday, April 23. The decision paid off quickly as SRH suffered a top-order collapse. Travis Head was dismissed for a duck after facing only four balls in the second over.
Wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton looked unsure, and Chahar and Hardik Pandya were focused on whether the ball would be called wide. Umpire Vinod Seshan initially signaled a wide but quickly changed his decision and raised his finger after noticing Kishan walking off.

Virender Sehwag said that had there been a genuine edge, it could be seen as sportsmanship. Sehwag recalled a quote from Ricky Ponting, who once said that a batter’s job is to play, while it’s the umpire’s responsibility to decide whether a player is out.
