The incident unfolded during the closing stages of the innings when Thakur appeared to dismiss Jadeja with a well-executed delivery. Jadeja mistimed his shot and was caught, prompting the Mumbai Indians pacer to celebrate animatedly as the Rajasthan Royals all-rounder began walking back to the pavilion.
Thakur’s reaction immediately caught attention, with the fast bowler giving his India teammate a cheeky send-off in what seemed like a decisive moment late in the innings. However, the celebrations were short-lived.
As the replay rolled on the big screen, it became clear that Thakur had overstepped, resulting in a no-ball. The dismissal was overturned, handing Jadeja an unexpected reprieve and leaving the MI camp visibly frustrated.
What followed added even more drama to the contest. Given a second chance, Jadeja responded in trademark fashion by smashing back-to-back boundaries off the very next deliveries. The experienced left-hander then turned towards Thakur and celebrated aggressively, appearing to return the earlier send-off with interest.
