By Wicket gaya toh gham nahi?” – Ishan Kishan ke reaction par social media ne kiya troll
Ishan Kishan self-dismissal during the IPL 2025 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians left fans stunned and social media buzzing. Imagine walking off the pitch, head bowed, even when you might not be out. Now imagine millions watching—some confused, others furious, and the rest laughing out loud. That’s exactly what happened to Kishan, triggering a flood of memes, jokes, and cricketing critiques across the internet.
The Bizarre Dismissal: What Exactly Happened?
It all unfolded in the 3rd over of the match. Ishan Kishan, opening for MI, was facing Deepak Chahar. A leg-side delivery seemed to brush past him into the gloves of wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton. There was a slight hesitation, but to everyone’s surprise, the umpire raised his finger. What shocked fans even more was Kishan’s immediate walk-off—without consulting his partner or asking for a review.
Later, when the replays aired, Snicko revealed there was no spike, meaning there was likely no contact with the bat. In short—he wasn’t out!
Social Media’s Reaction: Trolling Mode ON
This unexpected walk sparked a digital riot. Twitter, Instagram, and cricket forums exploded with hilarious takes:
- “Wicket gaya toh gham nahi, review lene ki bhi kasam nahi?”
- Harsha Bhogle called it “perplexing.”
- Navjot Singh Sidhu, in his typical poetic style, tweeted, “Buying trouble is easy, but the carrying charges are high!”

Some compared it to Inzamam-ul-Haq’s legendary “brain-fade” moments, while others claimed it was the most avoidable dismissal of the season. From memes of Kishan dressed as a monk renouncing material attachments (including his wicket), to edited videos of teammates looking bewildered—fans had a field day.
Why Did Kishan Walk?
That’s the million-dollar question. Some suggest he genuinely believed he edged it. Others say the umpire’s raised finger created pressure. But in modern cricket, especially with DRS (Decision Review System) in play, not reviewing such a crucial decision is baffling. A single moment of misjudgment cost Mumbai a key opener early in the innings.
In tight matches, such dismissals can turn the tide—and in this case, it nearly did.
Impact on the Match
After Kishan’s early departure, MI struggled to build momentum. SRH’s pacers, especially Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar, capitalized on the early breakthrough. Despite a rescue act from Klaasen and Manohar later in the innings, Kishan’s dismissal remained the most talked-about moment of the match.
Even MI’s skipper Hardik Pandya, who’s known for his calm demeanor, looked visibly surprised in the dugout. It wasn’t just a tactical miss—it was a psychological blow.
Lessons from the Blunder
- Always Use DRS (when available) – In high-stakes games, there’s no room for assumptions.
- Trust Your Instinct, But Confirm with Teammates – A quick check with your non-striker partner can change outcomes.
- Mental Composure Matters – Even experienced players can panic. That’s where mental conditioning plays a role.
Trolls Aside, Should Fans Be Kinder?
While it’s easy to laugh, it’s worth remembering that players are human too. The pressure, adrenaline, and momentary judgment lapse can affect anyone. Yes, Ishan Kishan’s mistake was glaring—but so is the digital world’s tendency to amplify flaws.
He’s a young talent with numerous match-winning performances to his name. Let’s hope this incident becomes a valuable lesson—not a defining moment.
Conclusion
The Ishan Kishan “self-dismissal” might go down as one of the most bizarre in IPL history. A reminder that in cricket, like life, it’s not just about physical skills but about staying mentally sharp too. As for the internet? Well, it never forgets—but it sure knows how to make you laugh.
