Hyderabad/Chennai, April 20, 2026 – Arre wah bhai! IPL 2026 is not just about sixes and yorkers anymore – ab toh lemon aur black magic bhi enter ho gaye hain!

A hilarious video from the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match has taken the internet by storm. An SRH fan was caught on camera performing a strange ritual with a lemon right before Shivam Dube got out. Seconds later, Dube walked back to the pavilion, and SRH won by 10 runs.

The clip spread like wildfire on WhatsApp groups, Instagram Reels, and X (Twitter), with fans joking, “Yeh toh nazar utaarne ka naya tareeka hai!” or “SRH ke fan ne full black magic lagaya!”

The Viral Lemon Ritual That Shocked Everyone

During the 17th over of CSK’s chase, with the Yellow Army at 154/7 and needing a miracle, Shivam Dube was at the crease. An SRH supporter in the stands was seen holding a lemon, rotating it, muttering something, and pointing towards the pitch.

The very next ball – boom! Sakib Hussain bowled a perfect yorker and Dube was cleaned up for 21 off 16 balls.

The timing was so perfect that fans went crazy. Memes flooded social media with captions like:

• “Lemon > CSK’s middle order”
• “SRH fan ne full totka laga diya”
• “IPL mein ab astrologer aur tantrik bhi chahiye!”

The video became the biggest talking point of the match, even bigger than the actual scorecard for many desi cricket lovers staying up late in the USA, Dubai, London, and Toronto.

CSK’s ‘Official’ Black Magic Complaint to BCCI – Totally Fake!

Soon after the match, a letter supposedly written by CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan to the BCCI started circulating everywhere.

The letter claimed that CSK players were disturbed by “black magic, voodoo rituals, and occult practices” by certain SRH fans. It allegedly requested the BCCI to investigate the matter, check CCTV footage, and take strict action to protect the “spirit and integrity” of the game.

Sounds serious, right?

Masala Mirror Fact Check: Sorry to burst the bubble – the letter is 100% fake!

Multiple reliable sources have confirmed it is a cleverly photoshopped meme created for pure cricket troll and banter. There are spelling mistakes, formatting errors, and no official confirmation from either CSK or the BCCI. CSK has not filed any such complaint.

This fake letter seems to be a sarcastic response to CSK’s earlier real complaint against RCB, where they objected to “derogatory” DJ songs and comments made during their match at Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Real Match Result: SRH Beat CSK by 10 Runs

On April 18, 2026, at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, SRH posted a competitive total and successfully defended it. CSK started strongly with Ayush Mhatre and Ruturaj Gaikwad but suffered a middle-order collapse. Shivam Dube’s dismissal was a turning point, and they fell short by 10 runs.

SRH moved up in the points table, while CSK’s two-match winning streak came to an end.

Desi Fans’ Reaction – Pure Entertainment!

From New Jersey to Navi Mumbai, NRI and Indian families are laughing over this episode. Many are sharing the video with “Nazar lag gayi kya?” jokes, while others are calling it pure coincidence and harmless fun.

In true Indian style, some fans are even suggesting SRH should hire that lemon-wala fan for every home game!

Cricket experts have laughed it off, saying IPL is all about drama – on the field and in the stands. Whether it’s the “evil eye” or just great bowling, the lemon ritual has given everyone a good chuckle during this high-voltage season.

BCCI’s Silence & IPL Spirit

The BCCI is yet to comment on the viral video or the fake letter. As always, the focus remains on fair play, player safety, and enjoying the spirit of cricket.

For now, this “black magic” saga remains the hottest masala of IPL 2026 – a perfect mix of superstition, humor, and desi cricket passion.
