The teams needed those points for different reasons. PBKS wanted to win the match to regain their momentum as a leading team in the IPL 2026 points table, where MI travelled to Himachal Pradesh in search of a consolation victory.
The middle-order batter, who recorded a century in the ongoing Indian Premier League, played a fifty-plus run knock tonight for the Mumbai Indians, and gifted the home team, Punjab Kings, their 5 defeat in IPL 2026. PBKS is currently on a five-match losing streak after tonight’s game.
Tilak Varma is the hero for MI tonight
Shardul Thakur proved to be a surprising inclusion in MI’s eleven, who took 4 wickets, including a brace in a single over. In one over, he dispatched the well-set Prabhsimran Singh and the PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, and made the match spicier instantly. In the second innings, while PBKS was chasing the 201-run target, Rohit Sharma played an unusual slow knock; 25 runs with a strike rate of 96.15.
Tough pill to swallow: Shreyas Iyer, PBKS captain
"Well, absolutely a tough pill to swallow, but I don't want to pinpoint at any situation over here because it was a great game of cricket. Well-fought game. He (Tilak) played amazing, he was selecting his shots pretty well, and he maneuvered the field nicely, so credit to him. (On Azmat) Certainly, at a point, we were looking at around 170 to 180, and from there on, he simply changed the momentum towards us,' Shreyas Iyer said after the match.
