New Delhi. Mumbai Indians suffered a third defeat at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL match. A strange incident occurred in the last over of the match, which included star Indian batsman Tilak Verma. Tilak Verma returned to the dressing room in the middle of the 19th over despite being unbeaten. Tilak Verma retired himself and decided to return to the pavilion. The reason for this was that when the team needed fours and sixes, they were not running from Tilak's bat. He was not seen in form. He definitely scored 25 runs from 23 balls but he was not able to take time to the ball in the right way. Since Mumbai Indians needed fours and sixes, they had to recall Tilak Verma running out of the form.

Tilak Varma was fielded as an impact player in place of Vignesh Puthur. But he could not show his influence. Mitchell Santner was replaced by him, but this formula of Mumbai did not work for him. The team lost by 12 runs in the last over. Commentator Harbhajan Singh raised questions about Tilak being retired out. Bhajji said that it was beyond his comprehension to call Tilak in the middle and bring Santner. As long as Suryakumar Yadav was at the crease, Mumbai's victory seemed to be fixed, but on the first ball of the 17th over, Avesh Khan dismissed Suryakumar. After this, captain Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma were responsible. Tilak was called back by Mumbai on the fifth ball of the 19th over and retired.

We gave more than 10-12 runs, after the defeat, the pain of Hardik Pandya, I said- I instead of taking wickets…
