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.
