Desk Correspondent , Chennai - Ishan Kishan turned up the heat after guiding Sunrisers Hyderabad to a crucial five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, mocking CSK’s iconic whistle culture with a viral celebration and a cheeky Instagram post.
Chasing 181 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Kishan played a match-winning knock of 70 off 47 balls, anchoring SRH’s chase under pressure and keeping their playoff hopes alive. His innings helped Hyderabad break CSK’s hold at their home ground in one of the most important games of the season. However, the biggest talking point came after the match. In a viral video, Kishan appeared to make a whistle gesture towards the crowd, seemingly taking a dig at CSK’s famous “Whistle Podu” culture — a symbol deeply connected with the franchise and the MS Dhoni era.
Kishan later added more spice on Instagram by posting pictures from the game with the caption: “Only thing louder than the whistles was the bat. Into the playoffs.” The post quickly went viral on social media, with fans divided over the celebration. While SRH supporters loved the confidence, many CSK fans saw it as a direct taunt aimed at Chepauk’s passionate crowd.
Kishan’s brilliant innings gave SRH a massive win in the playoff race, but his celebration and caption made sure to win far beyond the scoreboard.
