Watch: Heartbroken Hardik Pandya Consoled By Jasprit Bumrah And Suryakumar Yadav
Last Updated: Hardik Pandya looked dejected and got emotional as Mumbai Indians' IPL title hopes ended with a defeat to Punjab Kings in the second qualifier. Captain Hardik Pandya was crestfallen after Mumbai Indians lost to Punjab Kings in the second qualifier of IPL 2025 held in Ahmedabad on Sunday night. The Pandya-led MI suffered a five-wicket defeat after failing to defend 204 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Pandya was consoled by his teammates Jasprit Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav with the MI skipper quickly gaining control of himself before congratulating his PBKS counterpart Shreyas Iyer who played a match-winning innings of 87 not out in the successful chase. Hardik Pandya💔😫 — Surya (@SuryaDhoni22) June 1, 2025 MI had a decent season after losing four of their first matches at the start of their campaign. They made a remarkable turnaround to win six games in a row and qualified for the playoffs after finishing fourth in the standings. The in-form outfit then outshined Gujarat Titans in the Eliminator clash to enter qualifier 2. The start of the contest between PBKS and MI was delayed by rain, but no overs were lost. Batting first, MI made 203/6 with Suryakumar and Tilak Varma hitting 44 runs each. PBKS allrounder Azmatullah Omarzai proved expensive but picked two wickets in his four overs. '…they (PBKS) were really calm, put us under pressure and I think we were not able to execute the way we wanted. I will not put it on the wicket. If we had to do something better it was maybe someone bowling right lengths or maybe the right bowler at the right point, the result could have been a bit different," Pandya said in a conversation with the broadcaster after the match.

BCCI Punishes Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians After Defeat To Punjab Kings
Following the defeat, MI were found guilty of maintaining a slow over-rate and were subsequently penalised. This is the third time this IPL season that MI have committed this offence. Hardik Pandya has been found in breach of the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences and has been fined Rs 30 lakh. 'The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 12 lakhs or 50 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," the IPL said in a statement. Batting first, MI posted 203/6 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma scored 44 runs each, while Jonny Bairstow made 38 in a combined middle-order display. Like MI, PBKS also lost an opener cheaply but overcame this setback to overhaul the target in 19 overs, with captain Shreyas Iyer hitting an unbeaten 87 off 41. PBKS will now face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final at the same venue on Tuesday. This will be the fourth time that these two sides will clash in the ongoing season. Pandya attributed PBKS' win to Iyer's outstanding batting. 'The way Shreyas batted, took his chances, and some of the shots he played were really outstanding. I think they definitely batted really well. I think it (MI's total) was par, but it needed some great execution as a bowling unit, which I think in these big games it really matters," Pandya said. This was the sixth consecutive occasion that MI have lost a game in Ahmedabad, with their sole victory coming in 2014 against Rajasthan Royals.

Hardik Pandya Breaks Down As Mumbai Indians Crash Out Of IPL 2025: 'I Take The Blame'
The image of Hardik Pandya sinking to the ground, hands on knees, will remain etched in the minds of Mumbai Indians fans for years. As Shreyas Iyer punched the winning runs to script a famous victory for Punjab Kings in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025, the MI skipper dropped to his haunches — not from exhaustion, but heartbreak. This wasn't just a loss. It was a brutal reminder of the weight leadership carries, especially for a franchise as storied and demanding as Mumbai Indians. For Pandya, who returned to lead MI amidst immense scrutiny this season, the semifinal defeat was personal. Feel for Hardik Pandya, he took the team to qualifiers from number 8th in points table. Gave his everything only to be let down by Rohit Sharma with bat and Bumrah with ball. — Pari (@BluntIndianGal) June 1, 2025 'I take the blame,' Pandya admitted at the post-match presentation, his voice subdued. 'Shreyas batted beautifully. It was a par score. But our execution fell short when it mattered most. That's on me.' Pandya's Pain Highlights Mumbai's Season of Contrasts Mumbai Indians' IPL 2025 campaign was anything but ordinary. With a roster stacked with star power — Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and rising talents like Naman Dhir — expectations were sky-high. Yet, the transition under Hardik Pandya's captaincy was rocky. Pandya, battling both form and perception, carried the burden of replacing Rohit Sharma as MI skipper — a decision that split fans and pundits alike. While he remained composed publicly, his collapse after the loss revealed a man emotionally spent, perhaps carrying more than the scoreboard could show. Despite leading from the front with bat and ball throughout the season, the night in Ahmedabad showed that leadership goes beyond stats. Shreyas Iyer's Brilliance Overshadows Mumbai's Fight While Pandya's breakdown became the image of the night, Shreyas Iyer was its protagonist. The Punjab Kings batter played one of the most composed innings of the season — an unbeaten 87 off 41 balls, anchoring a high-pressure 204-run chase with calm, class, and conviction. Nehal Wadhera's gritty 48 off 29 and Josh Inglis' powerplay assault (38 off 21) set the tone, but it was Iyer's calculated assault that deflated MI's bowling attack — including Bumrah, who leaked 40 runs in his four overs. Pandya's own bowling failed to make a breakthrough at a crucial stage. His dropped catch of Wadhera in the 10th over — a tough but pivotal chance — added salt to wounds. As Punjab closed out the match with an over to spare, Pandya stood still, devastated. IPL 2025 Final Set: Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore With Punjab Kings storming into their first IPL final since 2014, a historic title clash with Royal Challengers Bangalore awaits. But even as the spotlight shifts to Ahmedabad on June 3, much of the discussion online revolves around Hardik Pandya's breakdown and Mumbai's missed chance. Search trends reflect the moment's emotional weight — with spikes in keywords like 'Hardik Pandya reaction after MI loss,' 'Hardik Pandya breaks down IPL 2025,' and 'Hardik Pandya IPL 2025 captaincy' dominating fan searches.
