Heinrich Klaasen Wicket-Keeping Mistake: The 33rd match of IPL 2025 is being played between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. A unique incident was seen during this match. Actually, due to a big mistake by Heinrich Klaasen, Ryan Rickelton got a life despite being caught out.
Heinrich Klaasen: Actually, this incident was seen during the seventh over of Mumbai Indians’ innings, which was bowled by Zeeshan Ansari. On the last ball of this over, Ryan Rickelton played a shot in the air towards the cover, where Pat Cummins took a brilliant catch. Rickelton thought himself out and walked towards the pavilion, but the third umpire stopped him.
Heinrich Klaasen: The reason for this was because when the third umpire checked the replay, it was found that when Rickelton hit the ball, Klaasen’s gloves were ahead of the wicket and that is why according to the rules, that ball was declared a no ball. In this way, Rickelton got a reprieve due to Klaasen’s mistake.

According to the rules, the wicketkeeper’s gloves should remain behind the wicket until the ball thrown by the bowler touches the striker’s bat or body or passes near the wicket at the striker’s end or the striker tries to take a run.
However, Rickelton could not take full advantage of this reprieve and returned to the pavilion after scoring 31 runs off 23 balls in the very next over. Harshal Patel took his wicket.
