Thu Apr 17 18:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Pandya’s Double Wicket Denied as No-Ball Controversy Mars MI-SRH IPL Clash
**Mumbai, India –** A bizarre no-ball controversy overshadowed a thrilling encounter between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the IPL 2025 on Thursday. MI captain Hardik Pandya dismissed Travis Head twice in consecutive deliveries during the 10th over, only to see both wickets overturned. The first, a caught-and-bowled, was ruled a no-ball due to a siren, leaving Head on strike for the free hit. Head was then caught again, this time by Mitchell Santner, but the double dismissal ultimately went unrecorded, much to Pandya’s visible frustration.
Despite the setback, MI captain Pandya expressed excitement about his team’s recent form and the potential impact of dew later in the match. He confirmed Rohit Sharma’s inclusion among the impact substitutes, a strategic decision given the anticipated conditions. SRH captain Pat Cummins, meanwhile, remained unfazed by the toss loss and expressed confidence in his team’s unchanged lineup.
The match, played on the same pitch where MI recently achieved a resounding victory over Kolkata Knight Riders, holds significant importance for both teams. Both MI and SRH, with four losses each, desperately need a win to bolster their playoff hopes. The atmosphere was electric, fueled by the stakes and the memory of MI’s previous success on this very ground.
