In a thrilling IPL 2026 match at Wankhede Stadium on April 29, Travis Head, the opener for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), took full advantage of a missed review by Mumbai Indians (MI) early in his innings. SRH was chasing a daunting target of 244 runs set by MI.

The opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head got SRH off to a flying start, amassing 92 runs during the powerplay at an astonishing rate of over 15 runs per over, putting MI's bowlers under immediate pressure. They formed a solid partnership of 129 runs before Abhishek was dismissed for 43 runs.

Following Abhishek's exit, Travis Head was joined by Ishan Kishan, who unfortunately fell for a golden duck on the second ball he faced from Allah Ghazanfar, marking a setback for SRH despite their strong start.

After a shaky start to the tournament, Travis Head found his rhythm, scoring a remarkable 76 runs off just 30 balls, featuring 4 fours and 8 sixes, with a striking strike rate of 253.33 before being dismissed at 133/3. His innings could have been significantly shorter had MI not overlooked a critical review.

In the third over, while on 8 runs, Head appeared to edge a delivery from Trent Boult to wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton. However, neither Boult nor Rickelton prompted MI captain Hardik Pandya to review the decision, resulting in a missed opportunity for a wicket.

Replays confirmed that the ball had indeed grazed the bat before reaching the wicketkeeper, granting Head a crucial lifeline.

The missed review has ignited discussions on social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), with fans expressing their disbelief at MI's decision-making during pivotal moments of the match. Many questioned how such a clear edge went unnoticed and criticized the dropped catch that further compounded MI's woes.

Fans took to X to voice their shock, with comments highlighting the lack of appeal from MI players and the overall confusion during a critical phase of the game.

Ultimately, MI's failure to capitalize on their chances cost them dearly, as SRH successfully chased down the 244-run target, winning by six wickets. Heinrich Klaasen contributed significantly with a quickfire 65 runs off 30 balls, while Salil Arora added a brisk 30 runs off just 10 deliveries.

With this victory, SRH climbed to third place in the points table, boasting six wins and three losses, totaling 12 points and a net run rate (NRR) of +0.832 after nine matches. Conversely, MI languished in ninth place with only two wins and six losses, holding an NRR of -0.784 after eight games.
