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.

Captain Hardik Pandya has been fined Rs 24 lakh as MI were found guilty of maintaining a slow over rate. They were also forced to have only four fielders outside the inner ring during the final over.

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees and has also accumulated one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct. He admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.20 - which pertains to the conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game - and accepted the Match Referee's sanction. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding. Nehra fined for argument with umpires The BCCI media release did not state the offence Nehra committed, but it's mostly related to his argument with on-field umpires during the closing stages of the game when the match had been halted by rain. He was seen having an argument with the on-field umpires to restart the game as soon as possible, as GT were close to the target. The argument took place during the second and final rain break as restart time kept shifting from 12:09 am to 12:25 am to 12:30 am (Wednesday). Eventually, the match started at 12:30 am and the target was reduced from 156 to 147 under the DLS Method and the match was turned into a 19-over game. GT resumed batting on 132/6 from 18 overs and managed to cross the finishing line in the 19th over as Deepak Chahar of MI failed to defend 15 runs.
