How many hit-wicket incidents have happened in the IPL?
Including the latest Abhinav Manohar case during the SRH vs MI clash, there have been only 16 such instances where a batter has been out hit-wicket in the 18 years of IPL.
How Abhinav Manohar’s momentum ended with a hit-wicket
Just when SRH needed stability, Abhinav Manohar’s innings came to a strange end and not in a way anyone expected. In the final over, with momentum on his side, the right-hander shuffled deep into his crease looking to free his arms. Instead, he lost balance, clipped the stumps with his bat, and walked off hit-wicket for 43 off 37.
