Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians (MI) slumped to their 3rd loss of the season as the 5-time champions lost to Lucknow Super Giants (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Friday at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

But it is not the loss that grabbed every headlines but there was one such incident after the match, that actually went unnoticed involving Pandya and batting coach, Kieron Pollard.

The incident took just after the match when the both sets of players were doing the post-match handshakes, the West Indian T20 legend was seen calling his captain a number of times, but Pandya chose to ignore him, keeping his head down, looking very disappointed. Pollard on the other hand looked at him clueless.

Here's a look at the viral video:-

Speaking of the clash, Lucknow Super Giants clinched a 12-run win over Mumbai Indians, thanks to fifties from Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram, and a disciplined bowling effort.

Chasing 204, MI faltered early as stand-in openers Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton fell cheaply. Naman Dhir (46 off 24) and Suryakumar Yadav (67 off 43) rebuilt the innings, but LSG struck at crucial moments. Avesh Khan removed Suryakumar in the 17th over, derailing MI's chase.

Needing 22 off the last over, Hardik Pandya started with a six but couldn't finish the job as MI ended at 191/5. The absence of Rohit Sharma was felt as Lucknow held their nerve to seal the win.

Digvesh Singh Rathi was adjudged as MOTM for his disciplined economical bowling spell, which actually turned the match around in Lucknow's favour.

The Lucknow Super Giants camp erupted in joy after a nail-biting win that lifted them to sixth place on the points table. The victory, built on key bowling efforts from Digvesh Rathi, Shardul Thakur, and Avesh Khan, provided a significant boost to their campaign. With disciplined execution in the death overs, LSG's bowlers held their nerve, sealing a crucial win and reigniting their momentum in the tournament.
