Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 journey is over, and this time the exit was something special. Punjab Kings defeated Mumbai by 5 wickets in Qualifier 2 thanks to Shreyas Iyer’s explosive 87 runs off 41 balls.
But even after this defeat, everyone’s eyes were on that moment between Rohit Sharma and Arjun Tendulkar, which went viral on social media.
After the match ended, Rohit Sharma, who made Mumbai IPL champions 5 times, was seen saying goodbye to his teammates. But the most discussed moment was when Rohit bowed down to Arjun Tendulkar in a funny way.
This video is now spreading like fire on the internet. Fans are getting emotional after seeing it, and many are calling it a symbol of Rohit’s simplicity and his love for Arjun.
This moment was so special that people are sharing it again and again on social media. This light-hearted style of Rohit shows that he is not only a great captain but also a true mentor.
Talking about the match, Punjab Kings easily chased the target of 192 runs. The way Shreyas Iyer thrashed the bowlers, it put Mumbai on the backfoot.
Mumbai captain Hardik Pandya also admitted that his bowling did not have the power that was needed to defend this big score.
Hardik said, “Shreyas batted brilliantly. Our bowling did not have that sharpness.”
Questions were also raised on the timing of the overs of star bowler like Jasprit Bumrah, but Hardik called it a part of the strategy.
Now Punjab Kings will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final. Both these teams are in the race to win the IPL trophy for the first time, so the thrill of the final is going to be amazing.
