Watch Hardik Pandya fight with Sai Kishore in the GT vs MI IPL 2025 match
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians found themselves in a troublesome position when their captain Hardik Pandya came at the crease during the intense GT vs MI IPL 2025 match. However, there was a brand new rivalry build-up witnessed on the cricket field during the exciting run-chase. During the 15th over of the second innings, Gujarat Titans' left-arm spinner Sai Kishore was seen going head to head against Hardik after delivering the fourth ball of the over. Incidentally, the bowler was seen staring down aggressively at the Mumbai Indians skipper who even even came down the track to confront Kishore. Hardik was also seen gesturing by swinging his arm and it looked he was saying "go away" towards Sai Kishore.
The umpire suddenly realized that the dramma was going beyond control as he rushed close to block the two cricketers, separating and bringing an end to the incident. Interestingly, it was Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore who kept constantly staring at his former IPL skipper after bowling the fourth ball of his last over. However, both the cricketers quickly changed sides to continue with their respective roles in the match. The GT left-arm spinner ended up picking the wicket of MI's Impact Player, Robin Minz, and conceded a total of 37 runs in his quota of four overs.
Sai Kishore was picked again by the Gujarat Titans during the IPL 2025 mega auction after having played for the same franchise in 2022-2024. Interestingly, Sai was part of the Gujarat Titans squad when Hardik Pandya was the captain in 2022 and 2023, but the left-arm spinner did not got much of the opportunities in the GT playing XI. There were some brilliant reactions on the social media on this incident.
