The IPL 2025 clash between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad took place at the Wankhede Stadium, with MI winning the toss and opting to bowl first. The decision proved wise as the pitch offered challenges for the batters. Sunrisers Hyderabad struggled to build momentum, finding it tough to rotate the strike and put up a dominant score. Mumbai’s disciplined bowling attack kept the pressure on, restricting scoring opportunities and capitalizing on the conditions effectively.

Among SRH’s batters, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen were the only ones who looked relatively comfortable at the crease. Abhishek, coming off a century in the previous match against Punjab Kings, was expected to deliver big. However, he could only manage 40 runs off 28 balls, which included seven boundaries. Klaasen also tried to stabilize the innings, but the overall team performance with the bat lacked the spark needed to put up a massive total.

A light-hearted moment added some humor to the intense contest.

The amusing interaction between the two players drew laughter and was a refreshing break from the high-stakes action on the field.

History about the incident

Abhishek Sharma, who recently scored a century against Punjab Kings, celebrated the milestone in a unique way by pulling out a chit from his pocket and showing it to the camera. The note read, "This one's for Orange Army," making it one of the most memorable celebrations in IPL history. His gesture was widely appreciated, highlighting his emotional connection with the fans and dedication to the Sunrisers Hyderabad team.

Interestingly, Abhishek’s opening partner Travis Head revealed that he had been carrying that chit in his pocket throughout all seven matches of the season. This fun detail added a layer of intrigue to the recent clash at Wankhede. During the game, Suryakumar Yadav was seen playfully checking Abhishek’s pockets, seemingly curious to see if the chit made another appearance. The light-hearted moment between the two players brought some comic relief and was enjoyed by fans and viewers alike.
