IPL 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal's Accidental Throw Strikes Sandeep Sharma On Chest, Leaves RR And SRH Players In Splits | WATCH
A dramatic moment unfolded during a clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 while fielding RR's Yashasvi Jaiswal inadvertently threw the ball, which hit his teammate Sandeep Sharma on the chest.
During the seventh over, Jaiswal's rambling throw from out in the deep accidentally whacked Sandeep on his left side, landing just in front of the shoulder blade.
The pacer seemed in discomfort, wincing in pain, and his expression showed annoyance at the unfortunate incident.
During the over, Travis Head lobbed the ball straight down the ground and Jaiswal fielded the ball at long-off.
The pacer was taken aback when Jaiswal threw the ball back, which bounced awkwardly just in time to hit Sandeep as he returned to his run-up. Watch the video here:
As soon as the ball hit Sandeep, he seemed a bit pained and appeared to be pretty disgruntled. However, the injury was not that serious, and the pacer continued his work without much hindrance, bringing relief to the Rajasthan Royals camp.
Jaiswal immediately raised his hand in apology, surprised by the unintended result of his throw. On the other hand, SRH's batter Head also looked flabbergasted by the quick sequence of events as his features spoke a thousand words in surprise over something so unexpected.
Undeterred by the incident, Hyderabad continued to unleash a barrage of powerful hits, with Travis Head and Ishan Kishan maintaining the momentum after Abhishek Sharma's dismissal. However, the Rajasthan Royals eventually managed to get a breakthrough, dismissing Australian opener =Head for a solid 67.
'I want MS Dhoni to smash you': Rohit Sharma's words to Mumbai Indians youngster left him confused
A key cog in the Kolkata Knight Riders unit, Ramandeep Singh has become a well-known figure among IPL and Indian cricket fans. The all-rounder is a handy spinner and a power-hitter, which has become useful for KKR on several occasions. However, before KKR, Ramandeep represented Mumbai Indians, making his IPL debut in 2022 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
Under Rohit's captaincy, Ramandeep developed into the player we see these days, further improved by KKR's coaching staff. Recently, appearing on Raj Shamani's Youtube podcast show, Ramandeep opened up on his playing experience under Rohit, sharing insights into his captaincy mindset. Revealing an incident involving MS Dhoni, Ramandeep, then 24, shed light on how Rohit and his captaincy acumen initially took him by surprise.
"Rohit Sharma is an outstanding leader" "There was a strong belief in my batting, but the crowd and the fact that you are bowling your first ball in the IPL are very different because you have never done that before. You don't know what is going to happen, the batter could have a good day," he said.
"So when Rohit gave me the ball and Dhoni was batting, he told me in our first conversation, 'I want MS Dhoni to smash you'. Because they had lost seven wickets at that point. So if they hit us, good, but if they get out while trying to hit us, then we will win. He previously informed me that there is no issue. You can only get that sense of freedom and feeling of belonging in a team from a captain; only a captain can do this. He is a true leader."
Which MS Dhoni face-off is the former MI player talking about?
Ramandeep was discussing MI's IPL 2022 victory over CSK by five wickets. It was in Match 59 of the season, played at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, when Ramandeep was handed the ball with CSK eight wickets down in the first innings. Dhoni (24*) was on strike with CSK at 80/8 in the 14th over. Maheesh Theekshana was at the non-striker's end.
With a score of 36* runs off 33 balls, the India legend maintained his unbeaten record as CSK reached 97 in 16 overs. MI reached 103/5 in 14.5 overs, successfully completing a 98-run chase. MI exacted the perfect revenge, having previously lost to CSK in their earlier fixture by three wickets.
Ramandeep only bowled one over in the match, beginning with a length delivery outside off, which Dhoni guided through covers for a single. Following that, Ramandeep sent a bouncer to Theekshana, which struck the gloves of the tail-ender. It was followed by a party ball, as Ramandeep got a hint of extra bounce, and Theekshana miscued his short straight to Rohit at cover for a catch. The next two balls were consecutive dots, followed by Mukesh Choudhary edging Ramandeep for a four.
Ramandeep featured in the IPL 2025 season opener, but failed to have an impact this time. He remained unbeaten at 9 off 6 balls as KKR reached 174/8 in 20 overs. He didn't bowl during the run-chase as RCB guned down the target in just 16.2 overs to win by seven wickets.
