Alright, let’s be honest – IPL 2025 wasn’t only about sixes, centuries, and nail-biting finishes. It has given us some rolling-on-the-floor-laughing moments that allowed us to forget our daily stress (and maybe even chuck that ex out of our brains, just saying).
Let’s take a look at the funniest on-field moments that left every cricket fan giggling like a child on too much sugar.
- The Flying Cap Incident
So, picture this. The fast bowler is effervescent and ready to bowl a rocket. He gathers pace, bowls, and WHOOSH, and his cap takes off and lands directly next to the umpire as though it wanted to umpire the next over. I mean, even the batsman couldn’t help but laugh. The video captured the bowler giving the cap an evil stare as though it had betrayed him. I mean, we’ve all had bad hair days before, but this bad hair day made national television!
- The Accidental Hug
During a thrilling, but tense encounter between RCB and MI, two fielders came sprinting for the same catch. They collided to the point where they both flailed in the air and landed, well, in an amazing bro-hug. For a fraction of a second, I thought I was watching a WWE tag match! What’s more endearing? They actually held onto the catch! The lesson here? Sometimes it only takes a hug (and a helmet).
- Stump Mic Antics
We are here for the stump mic gold, are we not? One wicketkeeper attempted to psych out the batter using his phone and tried singing Bollywood tracks – in front of a live audience. “Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam” reverberated through the stadium as the bowler looked on with bewilderment. The fans loved it, the batter laughed and the umpire? Probably wondering if he had mistakenly been cast in a musical.
- The Ball That Wouldn’t Be Found
This one is phenomenal. The batsman played a shot, the ball went somewhere… and did not exist anymore. Literally. The fielders searched for the ball like it was a bloody Easter egg hunt! Turns out, the ball was stuck in the cushion on the boundary. It took five minutes and three people to find it. The fans were probably thinking “Are we really watching IPL or Dora the Explorer”?
What Makes These Moments Matter?
Because the beauty of cricket is not in the statistics. The beauty of cricket is in the stories. These moments are the glue that connects us. Whether you are watching with your friends, your family or your cat (we do not discriminate) laughter is a fantastic way to break down boundaries.
