In an unusual incident during the IPL 2026 match on April 18, between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a fan's ritual involving a lemon coincided with the dismissal of CSK's Shivam Dube. The moment occurred in the 17th over, with CSK chasing a target of 194 runs. Dube, who scored 21 runs off 16 balls, was bowled by SRH's Sakib Hussain after the fan appeared to perform a 'black magic' act. Following the match, which SRH won by 10 runs, a photoshopped letter claiming CSK had filed a complaint with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding voodoo rituals was debunked as fake. This incident has sparked significant discussion among fans and on social media.
