Ishan Kishan’s Massive Brain-Fade, Walks Off Despite Being Not Out vs MI. Umpire’s Reaction Adds To Confusion

Ishan Kishan experienced a moment of escape from the massive brain during the 2025 Sunrisers Hyderabad match against the Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad on Wednesday. The incident was so bizarre that the commentators said they had seen nothing like it. It happened on the third ball of the third. Delivery of Deepak Chahar tilted the side of the leg and was captured by the goalkeeper Mi Ryan Rickleton. Everything seemed normal, but at that time, Ishan Kishan started to leave. However, he stopped halfway. At that time, the MI players asked for a catch. The referee who was partially raised, gave Kishan.

And then, the ultraedge replay showed that there was no edge!

Fairplay or Faacepalm?

Ishan Kishan walks … but ultraedge says “not released!” What has just happened?!
