Pandya could be seen cussing at the GT spinner.
Gujarat Titans (GT) spinner Sai Kishore and Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Hardik Pandya had a heated faceoff in the middle towards the end of the GT vs MI match in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Hardik could be spotted cussing at Kishore, as the GT player gave the MI captain a stare down. This prompted Hardik to walk up to Kishore before the umpires intervened.
However, in the aftermath of the incident, both players could be seen hugging it out and showed good camaraderie.
Kishore also cleared the air of any tension by stating during the post-match interaction,
“He’s a good friend of mine, inside the field it should be like that, but we don’t take things personally.”

Coming to the chase, MI faltered right at the start, losing both openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton cheaply. Although Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav made some amends for the early damage, MI were always behind. It eventually turned out to be too much in the end as the five-time IPL winners managed 160 for six in 20 overs.
