In a dramatic twist, just seconds after the fan’s actions were caught on camera, SRH bowler Sakib Hussain delivered a ball that clean bowled Dube, sending the stumps flying. The uncanny timing between the fan’s antics and the dismissal quickly grabbed attention, with fans flooding social media with memes and playful reactions.

Did CSK file a complaint?

A viral post on X claimed that the five-time champions had taken the incident up with BCCI. In a letter, which had the signature of CEO Kasi Vishwanathan and the CSK letterhead, the franchise is claimed to have written to the board to take strict action.

"Throughout the match, our players were repeatedly subjected to disturbing incidents where certain sections of the audience were seen and reported engaging in black magic, voodoo rituals, and other occult practices, intentionally targeting CSK players. Visuals and credible eyewitness accounts shared with us indicate individuals making unusual hand gestures, drawing strange symbols, using black cloth, and performing acts that are deeply unsettling and against the spirit of sportsmanship," the post claimed.

As for the SRH claim, no official claim has been made yet.
