Mumbai Indians’ owner Nita Ambani delivered an inspiring farewell message to her team after their IPL 2025 Qualifier 2 loss to Punjab Kings, marking the end of their campaign.
Mumbai Indians’ Playoff Journey
Despite posting a competitive 203/6, Mumbai Indians fell short as Shreyas Iyer’s unbeaten 87 off 41 balls powered Punjab Kings to a historic chase of 204 runs in 19 overs. The defeat ended MI’s hopes of securing their sixth IPL title.
Nita Ambani’s Encouraging Words
Following the heartbreaking loss, Ambani addressed the crestfallen MI squad, expressing gratitude for their efforts throughout the season. In a video shared by Mumbai Indians, she said:
“I just want to wish all of you the very best as you go back to your countries and play for your own teams. I will miss you all. I’m so used to seeing all of you, sharing smiles and high fives. Until then, take care, good luck, and all the best.”
Mumbai Indians’ Season Recap & Future Outlook
MI had a rocky start to IPL 2025, winning just one of their first five matches, but staged a mid-season turnaround, finishing fourth with eight wins from 14 games. Their Eliminator victory over Gujarat Titans kept their title hopes alive, but Punjab Kings proved too strong in Qualifier 2.
With Punjab Kings set to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the final, MI will now focus on rebuilding for IPL 2026, aiming to reclaim their dominance in the league.
