WATCH: Shreyas Iyer onslaught leaves Mumbai Indians owners Nita, Akash Ambani speechless

Mumbai Indians' quest for a sixth IPL title came to an end as Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer's explosive innings of 87 not out off 41 balls, successfully chased down a target of 204 runs in Ahmedabad on Sunday night. This elimination marks Mumbai Indians' fifth consecutive year without securing the IPL trophy, matching their longest title drought since the tournament's inception in 2008.

The match proved particularly significant as it was the first time in Mumbai Indians' history that they failed to defend a total exceeding 200 runs. The defeat was visibly hard on the team's owners, Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani, who were present at the venue watching from their usual position behind the boundary line.

The cameras captured several moments of the Ambani family. Their reaction was particularly noticeable when Shreyas Iyer hit one of his eight sixes during his match-winning innings.


A crucial moment in the game occurred when Nehal Wadhera was dropped early in his innings by Trent Boult, who slipped during the attempt. The missed opportunity not only resulted in a boundary but also led to visibly annoyed reactions from both the bowler and captain Hardik Pandya.



The outcome of Mumbai Indians' elimination has set up a compelling finale between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings, with both teams vying for their first-ever IPL title. This scenario ensures that a new team will be added to the list of IPL champions.
