Sports Sports: In a thrilling match of IPL 2026, Mumbai Indians (MI) registered a big win by defeating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 6 wickets. However, a mistake by Jasprit Bumrah during the match and Sunil Gavaskar’s sharp reaction on it became the main topic of discussion.

Bumrah had dismissed Himmat Singh in the 14th over of Lucknow Super Giants’ innings. But as soon as the siren sounded and the umpire signaled no-ball, the decision of the wicket changed. Sunil Gavaskar, who was commenting on this moment, expressed strong displeasure and termed it “unacceptable”.

“This is unacceptable. You are a professional cricketer. The wide is understandable, but not the no-ball,” Gavaskar said in the live commentary. His statement immediately sparked debate on social media and in the cricket world.

Talking about the match, Mumbai Indians batsmen performed brilliantly and made the chase easy. Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton made a explosive opening partnership and gave a strong start to the team.

Rohit Sharma played a brilliant inning of 84 runs in 44 balls, while Ryan Rickelton also thrashed the LSG bowlers by scoring 83 runs in 32 balls. The opening partnership of 143 runs between the two completely turned the match in favor of MI.

Batting first, Lucknow Super Giants had set a big target of 228 runs, but Mumbai Indians achieved it in just 18.4 overs in a very aggressive manner. With this win, MI registered its third win in 10 matches in the tournament.

LSG bowlers were successful in creating some pressure in the beginning, but their strategy proved to be unsuccessful in front of the aggressive batting of Rohit and Rickelton. Mumbai’s middle order also ensured victory by scoring quick runs in the last overs.

While on one hand there was talk of Mumbai Indians’ brilliant batting in this match, on the other hand Bumrah’s no-ball and Sunil Gavaskar’s harsh comment on it caught the attention of cricket fans. Many experts believe that in such big matches, even small mistakes can affect the result.

Overall, this match has become one of the most talked about matches of IPL 2026 due to thrill, record partnership and controversy.
