Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag claimed that he was puzzled by Ishan Kishan’s honesty in the MI vs SRH tie. The batter decided to walk off without even waiting for the umpire’s decision when he hadn’t even edged the ball. Kishan’s decision to walk off sparked a debate among fans, with some going to the extent of claiming that he was involved in match-fixing.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Sehwag noted that Ishan should have waited for the umpire to give his decision, adding that the official was also being paid to do his job. He said that he couldn’t comprehend the batter’s honesty, adding that it would have made sense for him to walk off had there been an edge.
“Many times, the mind fails to work at that moment. It was brain fade. Stop at least and wait for the umpire to make his decision. He is also charging some amount of money for his job,” Sehwag said.

Had it been an edge, it would have been understandable because that would be in the spirit of the game. But it was neither out; the umpire was unsure and you started walking off all of a sudden,” Sehwag added.
The walk-off episode
The drama unfolded in the second over of the Hyderabad innings, after they were put into bat, when Ishan Kishan could not tackle a ball down the leg side, by Deepak Chahar, well. As it passed the batter, to the keeper, no one really appealed, but the southpaw started walking. That was when even the umpire raised his finger.
