**Mumbai, India** – A controversial no-ball call sparked outrage during today’s IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Sunrisers Hyderabad had set a challenging 163-run target for Mumbai. While Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 26, Ryan Rickelton’s dismissal proved to be the center of attention.

Rickelton, on 21, was given out caught by Pat Cummins off Zishan Ansari. However, the on-field umpire overturned the decision, signaling a no-ball after a review. The reason? Wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen’s gloves were positioned in front of the stumps, obstructing the path of the ball, even though the ball did not travel in his direction. This contravened rule 27.3.1, which allows for a no-ball if the wicketkeeper’s gloves are positioned ahead of the stumps before the batsman plays the ball.

The decision, deemed a technicality by many, infuriated SRH, as Ansari’s delivery appeared legitimate. The no-ball call gave Rickelton a lifeline, much to the disbelief of spectators and commentators alike. The incident highlights the often-finely-balanced rules of the game and the impact of even seemingly minor infractions on the outcome of a match. The match continues.
