The T20 Mumbai League 2026 final at Wankhede Stadium is decided on the field and briefly overshadowed by an on-field dispute involving MSC Maratha Royals pacer Tushar Deshpande and ARCS Andheri batter Gaurav Jathar. The incident follows Jathar’s dismissal in the 19th over of ARCS Andheri’s chase. After Jathar strikes a big six to put pressure back on the fielding side, Irfan Umair traps him lbw for 23 off 17 balls. Players’ reactions to the wicket quickly intensify into a heated verbal exchange near the dugouts. The reports say the exact words are not audible, but players and umpires intervene to prevent tensions from escalating. Moments later, another confrontation appears to erupt near the ARCS Andheri team area, with players approaching the dugout where captain Shivam Dube and teammates are seated; support staff and players step in again to calm the situation. Despite the flare-up, MSC Maratha Royals defend their title. Tushar Deshpande plays a key role with a crucial spell, and his post-incident comments emphasize the fearless approach of Mumbai’s emerging talent.
