Mumbai Indians opener Ryan Rickelton was at the receiving end of a major reprieve during an IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Rickelton thought he was dismissed after he was caught by SRH skipper Pat Cummins off the bowling of Zeeshan Ansari.

But the South African batter was granted a second chance after the third umpire spotted that SRH keeper Heinrich Klaasen had pushed his gloves in front of the stump while Rickelton played the shot, which resulted in a no ball being called.

As per MCC rules (27.3), the wicket-keeper shall remain wholly behind the wicket at the striker’s end from the moment the ball comes into play until a ball delivered by the bowler – touches the bat or person of the striker or passes the wicket at the striker’s end or the striker attempts a run.

In the event of the wicket-keeper contravening this Law, the striker’s end umpire shall call and signal no ball as soon as applicable after the delivery of the ball.

Rickelton though couldn’t make much off his lucky break as he managed to add just 10 runs after that, eventually falling for 31.
