Hardik Pandya, Sai Kishore's heated staredown during GT vs MI match goes viral | Watch video

Match No. 9 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is certainly going to be one of the most talked-about games of the season. Played between the five-time champions, Mumbai Indians (MI), and the winner of IPL 2022, Gujarat Titans. During the match, a staredown between MI skipper Hardik Pandya and GT bowler Sai Kishore hogged the limelight in Ahmedabad. The incident took place in the second innings of the match as MI was chasing a 197-run target. The confrontation occurred in the 15th over of the MI innings when Sai Kishore bowled a dot ball and gave Hardik Pandya a death stare. The furious clash between the two even saw Hardik yelling ''F*** O**''. However, the words were not caught on Stump's mic but it was quite clear with his lip movement. The controversial moment between the duo went viral on the internet. However, during the post-match customary handshake, both Hardik and Kishore were seen hugging each other and even had a laugh to put an end to what happened in the heat of the moment.
