Punjab Kings knocked the five-time champions Mumbai Indians out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to qualify for the final of the season. They chased down the 204-run target with five wickets and one over in hand, but MI lost for the first time, defending a total of more than 200 runs.

Shreyas Iyer was the hero in the chase, smashing an unbeaten 87 off just 41 balls with five fours and eight sixes to his name. With this knock, he stormed to jump to sixth place in the orange cap race. He has now scored 579 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 172.32 with six fifties and a highest score of 97*.
Suryakumar Yadav was another player who was in the race to win the orange cap but has been knocked out now with MI’s loss. He scored 44 runs with the bat to finish IPL 2025 season with 717 runs in 16 matches at an average of 65.18 and a strike rate of 167.91 with five half-centuries.
With Surya not playing in the final, Sai Sudharsan is more or less confirmed to win the orange cap in IPL 2025. Virat Kohli is his closest active competitor and is 145 runs behind, having scored 614 runs so far.
