It is a renowned fact that the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a high-octane event full of cut-throat competition. There are batsmen who nick the ball and refuse to take a walk back to the dug-out while fielders claim catches they grass. But there were some events in this edition of the tournament which surprised one and all, winning hearts of everyone inside and outside of cricketing fraternity.

These acts reminded us that the spirit of cricket did not disappear in this new age of competitive cricket and created definitive examples illustrating the proper manner to play the Gentlemen&#8217;s game. Here are five instances which stood out even with wickets flying around, acrobatic catches being taken and batsmen hitting the ball out of the stadiums.

1. Suresh Raina consoling Rishabh Pant after he missed out on his ton

Even though there were 60 hard fought matches in the tournament which had massive sixes, hattricks, last ball thrillers, IPL 2017 will always be remembered for the gesture Suresh Raina made after Rishabh Pant missed out on a ton against Gujarat Lions at Ferozshah Kotla. Rishabh Pant stunned the entire cricketing fraternity with his blitzkrieg with the bat as he smashed all the bowlers out of the ground to make a mockery out of the target.

Chasing a mammoth target of 208, Rishabh Pant scored an explosive 97 off just 43 balls smashing a whopping 9 sixes and four boundaries, he was all set to score his maiden IPL ton before he nicked one to the keeper off Thampi&#8217;s bowling. The disappointment was evident in his body language as he was not ready to absorb the reality. Suresh Raina came up to Pant and lauded his effort by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/suresh-raina-shows-perfect-spirit-consoling-gesture-rishabh-pant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tapping his face and chest to register a long-lasting memory</a> in everyone&#8217;s mind.

2. Hashim Amla walks off after nicking the ball without even an appeal from opposition

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2017/05/Hashim-Amla-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-large wp-image-142754" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Hashim-Amla-1-600x315.jpg" alt width="600" height="315" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-142754" class="wp-caption-text">(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Everyone is aware by now the caliber of Hashim Amla in all formats of the game as he scored a couple of breezy tons this season of the IPL for the Kings XI Punjab. The incident took place at Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru when Royal Challengers hosted the Punjab side. Aniket Choudhary was handed over the new ball and Hashim Amla nicked one to the keeper while trying to hit a flashy drive.

Neither the bowler nor the keeper Kedhar Jadhav seemed enthusiastic to even appeal for it. Seconds later, Hashim Amla <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/watch-hashim-amla-decides-walk-off-despite-no-appeal-rcb-team/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">showed his class by exhibiting a great sportsman spirit</a> by walking off without waiting for an appeal or verdict from the umpire. With this act, Hashim Amla demonstrated that the spirit of the game is still alive and created a moment to savour for many years to come.

3. Mohammad Nabi offering a helping hand

Before the tournament commenced, everyone was excited to see how the move of Sunrisers&#8217; would pan out after they bagged two Afghans in their line-up at the auction this year. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/from-the-barren-deserts-of-afghanistan-to-the-glitz-and-glamour-of-ipl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi</a> made use of the opportunity provided to them as they made vital contributions throughout the tournament. When Mumbai visited Hyderabad, Mohammad Nabi was included in the playing XI and at the end of the 8th over of Mumbai&#8217;s innings, something magical occurred during the play.

Hardik Pandya found himself in a tangle with his laces of the shoe untied. Mohammad Nabi obliged to the request of Hardik Pandya by offering a helping hand to tie the laces of Mumbai batsman instantly and won many hearts in the process. This act would go down as one of the best &#8216;Spirit of Cricket&#8217; moment in the history of IPL.

4. Ajinkya Rahane not claiming the catch after touching the rope

During the high-octane clash between the Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-10-qualifier-1-mi-v-rps-game-changing-moments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">first qualifier</a> of this IPL season at Wankhede Stadium at Mumbai, Ajinkya Rahane won many hearts with a gesture symbolizing the spirit of cricket. During the second last over of Mumbai&#8217;s innings, Mitchell McClenghan got hold of a slower one from Unadkat and smashed it towards the cow corner.

Ajinkya Rahane made a herculean effort to keep the ball in play as the ball already crossed over the rope and relayed it on to Smith. Many thought it was the catch of the tournament but Rahane shortly signaled to the umpire that he touched the rope while getting a hold of the ball and passing it on to his skipper. Replays further confirmed Rahane&#8217;s claims and the Mumbaikar won all the hearts in the stadium and beyond.

5. David Warner handing over Thampi&#8217;s shoes while taking a run

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The Orange Cap holder of the tournament and the dynamic leader of Sunrisers Hyderabad also gave us a memorable moment when Gujarat Lions visited Hyderabad during the league. Sunrisers were cruising through while chasing the target set by the visitors. The incident occurred in the last ball of the tenth over of Hyderabad innings when Moises Henriques hit a ball back past Basil Thampi for a single.

Thampi in an attempt to save a single put out a desperate dive to his right and his boots came out in the process. The batsman at the non-striker&#8217;s end, David Warner, while trying to complete his run <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/watch-david-warner-shows-spirit-game-gujarat-lions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">paused for a while to grab Thampi&#8217;s shoes </a>and handed over to him and continued his run. David Warner too won many hearts with this act of his.

IPL 10 Top 5 Spirit of cricket moments of the season

It is a renowned fact that the Indian Premier League is a high-octane event full of cut-throat competition. There are batsmen who nick the ball and refuse
