WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah consoles crying Hardik Pandya after Punjab Kings knock out Mumbai Indians from IPL 2025
Hardik Pandya crying after getting knocked out by Punjab Kings in IPL 2025 Qualifier 2. New Delhi: Having Hardik Pandya as captain of Mumbai Indians did not turn out as well as expected. They encountered huge challenges in their first year, failed to adapt and ended up in last place on the table. While winning their first game of the year, they just missed grabbing the title as they made the playoffs and lost Qualifier 2 to the Punjab Kings. In spite of their victory in the Eliminator, the season concluded badly for the five-time champions. Despite Mumbai Indians setting a seemingly achievable target of 203 runs, Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer's impressive performance, secured a comfortable five-wicket victory with an over to spare. While Hardik Pandya felt the total was sufficient given his bowlers' past performances, Iyer's team proved him wrong. Hardik Pandya appeared overwhelmed with emotion and wept openly before receiving comfort from Jasprit Bumrah. The captain looked disheartened and alone, struggling to process the team's performance and the pressure of following in Rohit Sharma's successful footsteps as Mumbai's captain. He clearly felt the weight of expectation and the difficulty of maintaining the team's winning legacy. Bro when someone like Hardik who always looks strong with that unshakable attitude breaks down looks emotional and cries it hits different it really hurts deep😭🥺.#PBKSvsMI #CricketTwitter — ☯︎ (@TheLoneWolf_17r) June 1, 2025 Trent Boult's missed catch of Nehal Wadhera proved to be a pivotal moment in the match. This unfortunate event allowed Wadhera to contribute a significant 48 runs himself, and he went on to forge a substantial partnership of over 80 runs with Iyer. The missed opportunity significantly altered the game's trajectory. Mumbai's elimination was partly due to Punjab's strong batting performance against Bumrah, who unfortunately gave up 40 runs in his four overs without taking a wicket. This contributed significantly to Mumbai's defeat.

IPL 2025: MI's match-winner army takes on GT's balance — fans call it ‘David vs Goliath with the bat!'
Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans will play against each other in the 56th match of IPL 2025 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Tuesday evening. As the race for playoffs intensifies, both sides bring their strengths to what promises to be a close and tense battle. Mumbai Indians riding high on form Mumbai Indians enter the match in third place on the points table, having won seven of their eleven games so far. Their most recent victory was against Rajasthan Royals, and they are on a six-match winning streak. The combination of experienced performers and match-winners like Suryakumar Yadav and Ryan Rickelton in the batting department, along with a strong bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult, has played a crucial role in their comeback this season. Gujarat Titans hold steady with balanced squad Gujarat Titans, just behind Mumbai in fourth place, have won seven of their ten games. Their last win came against Sunrisers Hyderabad. GT's strength lies in their stability — with Sai Sudharsan and Jos Buttler in excellent form with the bat, and Prasidh Krishna leading the bowling unit effectively. This mix of firepower and control gives GT an edge in key moments. Netizens are already discussing the depth difference, with one remarking, 'MI has a team packed with match winners, GT has only few. David vs Goliath in that aspect.' It's not about top performing. MI has a team packed with match winners, GT has only few. David vs Goliath in that aspect — Shreya (@shreyamatsharma) May 6, 2025 Wankhede favors pacers The Wankhede Stadium has been slightly more favorable to teams batting second in IPL 2025. Average first-innings scores hover around 175, while teams chasing average 183. The pitch remains good for batting through the match, but pacers have shown to be more effective than spinners across all phases. While winning the toss is not decisive, fielding first may offer a minor strategic advantage. What fans are saying online Social media is buzzing ahead of this clash. One user commented, 'Aaj GT vs MI ka match hai, bhai! GT ke bowlers MI ke batsmen ko nacha denge,' predicting a tough day for Mumbai's batters. Aaj GT vs MI ka match hai, bhai! 😎 GT ke bowlers MI ke batsmen ko nacha denge, aur Hardik bhai sochenge, 'Yeh Ahmedabad wale meri wajah se hi jeet rahe!' 😂 #GTvsMI #IPL2025 #CricketTwitter #CricketFever — Cricking Kols 👑 (@Crickingkols) May 6, 2025 Another user drew attention to the emotional subplot with Hardik Pandya facing his former team, adding, 'Hopefully also against Hardik Pandya if he survives long enough to face him!!' Hopefully 🤞 also against Hardik Pandya if he survives long enough to face him !! — Sandy (@SB_071162) May 6, 2025 With playoffs in sight, MI vs GT promises intense moments, passionate fans, and possible turning points in IPL 2025's upcoming weeks.
