Complete Mumbai Indians won by 12 runs

Player of Match: Karn Sharma

Slow starts aren’t new to the Mumbai Indians. They almost always find a way to storm back into the tournament and this win feels like the beginning of another such instance. When they need it the most, the Mumbai Indians find a way to rally together and come up with something magical. Today, their task wasn’t simple. They were going up against the only unbeaten side in the tournament and things looked glum when Karun Nair, a man who’s been bending fate to his will, was carting them all around. They seemed predestined to go down but they found a way, found a way as if to defy fate itself and that’s a testament to their resilience as a side. That's all we've got for you tonight then. It’s time for me, Anurag Hegde, and my colleagues Sagar Chawla, Nikhil Jadhav and AV Venkatesh to bid you goodnight.
Karn Sharma | Player of the Match: [Translated from Hindi] Feels very good that my hard work has paid off. Whenever I get a chance, I want to do my best. It’s a big tournament, only 12 can play. I just focus on my process, rest is not in my hands. KL Rahul’s wicket was my favourite. That catch was very important at that stage of the game. I pray a lot that I do well when I get a chance and that the teams win. There was no dew in the first innings, changing the ball meant that we got some more grip. That was good.
Hardik Pandya: Winning is always special, especially wins like this. He (Karun) was batting brilliantly, it seemed like it was going out of hand. (On Karn Sharma) Shows great character, to be brave and toss it up when the boundaries are just 60m long. We never gave up, we kept saying we want to stay in the contest. Everyone put their hand up and we were able to hold on to our chances. (On the batting order) Wanted to get the players in form to face the most balls. Dew played a big factor later on, it got very dewy. Just by making sure the game is not over, “keep fighting” was the chatter. We knew a couple of wickets would change the game. It has happened with me before as well, wins like this change the momentum and turn everything around.
Did You Know? For just the second time in IPL history, we have had three runouts in a single over. The first also involved MI -at Wankhede - way back in 2008.

With MI needing two off the final ball, Yuvraj Singh ran out Vikrant Yeligati to seal a thrilling one-run win for Punjab Kings.

There were five runouts in that MI innings, still an IPL record, three of them coming in the final over.
- 10 of the 12 200-plus first innings totals have been successfully defended this season, and the team batting first won each of the six IPL matches at Delhi since 2024.

Mitchell Santner: Nice to get over the line. Every game seems to be close in IPL, this was one hell of a game here in Delhi. It's crazy to finish off with three run-outs. Was one of those games where we were kind of behind for a bit and then he managed to get us right back. Bowling coach was pretty happy. To nail six in a row in an over was amazing. To get three wickets by Karn it was massive, the only way to slow them down. We had to take wickets in the middle overs. Karun Nair's innings was special, playing his first game this season. The spinners who have bowled defensively have done well (in the tour
Axar: We had the game in the bag. Some soft dismissals and bad shots in the middle order. You can't leave it to the batters in the lower order everytime. Don't need to overthink, just one of those days. Was happy at the halfway stage. The ball was stopping initially but it got better. And then dew helped us further. Out of our three spinners, two can bowl in powerplay and death as well. Kuldeep is bowling unbelievably well. Need to forget this game from a batting point of view.

Bumrah to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, streaky this time but they all count! Bumrah nails the yorker on off-stump this time, Ashutosh Sharma looks to dig it out and gets a thick outside edge that goes past the keeper, nothing MI can do about that, Bumrah has a wry smile on his face
