In a touching moment following the Mumbai Indians' impressive victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday, Nita Ambani, the owner of MI, enjoyed a heartfelt post-match reunion with Ishan Kishan at Wankhede Stadium. Ishan, who had spent seven seasons with the Mumbai franchise before being released prior to the IPL 2025 auction, was acquired by Sunrisers in a lucrative deal. This marked his first appearance at Wankhede in opposing colors, and although he had a subdued performance with the bat—being stumped for just 2 runs by Ryan Rickelton—the post-match interactions highlighted the emotional essence of the game.

As players exchanged handshakes and began to return to their respective dugouts, Ishan approached Nita Ambani, greeting her with a warm smile. Ambani reciprocated with a friendly gesture, gently patting his cheek.

The young wicketkeeper-batter shared a few words with the MI owner before jogging back to rejoin the SRH team.

On the field, MI produced a clinical all-round display to register their third win of the season. Chasing 163 on a challenging surface, they got past the target in 18.1 overs thanks to key contributions from Will Jacks (36 off 26), Suryakumar Yadav (26 off 15), and Tilak Varma (21*). MI’s bowlers had earlier restricted SRH to 162 for 5, with Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, and Jacks delivering disciplined spells.

SRH showed some late fight with Heinrich Klaasen’s 37 and Aniket Verma’s final-over fireworks, but MI’s control of conditions and sharp execution proved too good on the day.

With the win, MI moved to six points in the IPL table but remain seventh. SRH, meanwhile, continue to endure a tough outing in the 2025 season, with only two wins on the board at the halfway mark. They remain ninth in the points table, and now stare at a challenging task of mounting a comeback and putting forth their contention for playoff spots.

Pat Cummins' men were the finalists of previous year's IPL. MI, meanwhile, also faced a poor start to the season but have now registered a second successive win, following their victory against Delhi Capitals last week
