The 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) clash between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Thursday (April 27) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium resembled the vibe of a 'gully cricket' match for a brief moment as several people include Suryakumar Yadav struggle to find a ball near the boundary line.

The incident happened in the ninth over of the match after Dhruv Jurel hit a six over Karn Sharma's bowling over extra cover. While the ball landed near the boundary line, what followed was bizarre and left cricket fans in stitches. In rather unimaginable scene, three MI players, including vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav and several cameramen were looking for a ball.

However, none of them were able to locate the white ball for a significant time as the match was halted for a few moments.

Social media was quick to notice the moment as several cricket fans were reminded of their own childhood days of playing the sport in the streets.

Talking about the incident on the commentary. Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar joked that RR should be given six more runs. "There used to be a condition if there is a lost ball, you get six more runs. 6 more runs,' said Gavaskar.

Talking about the match, RR won the toss and chose to bowl first. Ryan Rickelton (61 of 38) and Rohit Sharma (53 of 36) gave Mumbai a quick start as they put up a 116-run opening partnership in just 71 balls. Suryakumar Yadav (48 of 23) and Hardik Pandya (48 of 23) continued the onslaught with a 94-run partnership for the third wicket in just 44 balls as MI ended up with a score of 217/2 on the board.

In reply, RR lost five wickets in the powerplay and headed for a humiliating defeat, which will confirm they can no longer qualify for the playoffs.
