Suryakumar Yadav opens up about his match-winning knock
Speaking about his match-winning knock, Suryakumar Yadav said, “It was important for a single batter to bat till the end. We knew there was one over of 15–20 runs somewhere, so we had to wait till the end. The way Naman came in and shared that energy with me was also a turning point.”
On the other hand, MI captain Hardik Pandya said, “I can throw the ball to Mitchell Santner and Jasprit Bumrah whenever I want; they bring such control and perfection, which makes my job very easy. We would've been very happy to get 160, but the way Naman and Surya finished it. Especially Naman, to come out and just hit on a difficult track was outstanding.”

MI vs DC IPL 2025 Match Highlight
Meanwhile, Suryakumar delivered when Mumbai needed him most. With the team struggling at 132/5 after 18 overs, India’s T20I captain smashed a stunning 73* off 44 balls and joined Naman Dhir for a fiery 57-run stand in the last two overs. Their late blitz powered MI to 180/5.
Then, the bowlers entered the game. Jasprit Bumrah (3/12) and Mitchell Santner (3/11) tore through Delhi Capitals' lineup, bundling them out for just 121. The big win knocked DC out of the playoff race and confirmed Mumbai’s spot in the top four alongside PBKS, RCB, and GT.
With an IPL 2025 playoff spot sealed, Mumbai Indians now head to Jaipur for their final league match against Punjab Kings on May 26. While all four playoff teams are confirmed, the battle for the top two spots is still on between MI, PBKS, RCB, and GT.
MI will now be aiming for a one-two finish in the league stage. If Mumbai manage to beat Punjab, they can finish on the top-2 to gain a strategic advantage in the knockouts beginning May 29.
