This happened in the IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Friday, April 4. MI was chasing 204 runs. Batter Tilak Varma made 25 runs from 23 balls. He found it hard to score quickly.
Tilak then chose to retire out. Mitchell Santner came in to bat next. But this decision did not help MI. They lost the match by 12 runs.
This is not the first time this has happened in IPL. Let’s look at other players who have also been retired out in last some seasons :
