In IPL, closeness and friendship are often seen between Indian and foreign players. But sometimes there is a conflict between the players. This conflict is not only seen between players from different countries but also among Indian players. Something similar happened during the match between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. Former Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya and the bowler of this team R Sai Kishore clashed without saying anything, and both of them started staring at each other with anger.
In the match played on Saturday 29 March in Ahmedabad, Gujarat batted first and set a target of 197 runs for Mumbai to win. In response, Mumbai had lost 4 wickets by the 13th over, while only 108 runs were scored. At such a time, captain Hardik Pandya came to the crease but he also had to face constant trouble in playing big shots. Then came the 15th over when left-arm spinner R Sai Kishore was bowling.
What was the conflict about?
Hardik could not score a single run on the first 2 balls of this over. Then on the third ball, Hardik somehow hit a four. This is where the spark of confrontation flared up because Sai Kishore did not like this. Then on the very next ball, he trapped Hardik. Hardik wanted to move forward and play a big shot on this ball but could only defend the ball. This is where Sai Kishore and Hardik started staring at each other. During this, Hardik also once gestured something with his hand. Both of them stared at each other in anger for about 10 seconds.
Friendship again after the match
This confrontation between the two added some energy to the match but both of them could not do anything after that. This was Sai Kishore's last over, while Hardik also could not last long after this. However, after the match was over, both of them forgot this fight and happily shook hands and then hugged each other tightly. After the match, Sai Kishore also said during the interview that Hardik is a very good friend of his and all this happens on the field. He said that both of them are opponents inside the field and there should be similar aggression in the match.
