During the intense match between the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians on Saturday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Hardik Pandya and R Sai Kishore were involved in a heated exchange. The incident took place during the second innings of the match, as MI chased 197 runs to win.
The incident took place in the 15th over of MI’s innings, when Sai Kishore bowled a dot ball and gave Hardik a death stare. This provoked the MI skipper as he shouted “f*** off ” and stormed towards Sai Kishore.
However, the two players put their heated exchange behind as they shared a warm hug during the post- match handshake.
“He’s a good friend of mine, inside the field it should be like that. Inside the field, anybody is an opponent, but we don’t take things personally” Sai said
“We are good competitors. That’s how I think the game should be”. Sai added
Sai Kishore delivered an impressive performance with the ball as he took 1 wicket for 37 runs in his four-over spell, which included the crucial wicket of Tilak Varma.
Pandya experienced mixed fortunes during the match as he bowled effectively, taking two wickets for 29 runs, but faced difficulties with the bat, managing only 11 runs off 17 balls. His wicket was taken by Rabada in the 17th over, which significantly ended Mumbai’s chances.
