The Mumbai Indians were eliminated from IPL 2025 by a vibrant Punjab Kings team, captained by a red-hot Shreyas Iyer, which resulted in the most successful IPL team going without a title for the fifth consecutive year, equaling their longest trophy-less streak since the five years of the competition's existence.

A fifth year without a trophy or even a final is a major setback for a side that is so used to winning and, as a result, for an ownership group that is constantly striving for it. It's fair to say that the squad is among the most talented in the competition. This became apparent during the ground broadcast, when the MI owners Nita Ambani and Akash Ambani offered their opinions as the team's defense of 204 fell apart in Ahmedabad on Sunday night.

Nita Ambani was seen sitting in her usual sofa just behind the boundary line. The cameras captured her looking less than happy after Shreyas Iyer decimated the MI bowlers with one of his eight sixes on the night, scoring an outstanding 87* (41) innings. With a look that implied displeasure at what she was seeing on the field, she turned to her son.

Ambani had already reacted to a moment earlier in the game where Nehal Wadhera was dropped early in his innings, MI missing an opportunity to swing the momentum of the game in their favour as Trent Boult slipped and dropped the former MI southpaw. To make matters worse, the ball went for a boundary, leading to stressed reactions from both bowler and captain Hardik Pandya, as well as from Nita Ambani, as she hid her face in disappointment at that moment.

Nita Ambani's ‘six’ prediction falls apart

With the Ambani mother-son duo having been consistent features of MI matches from their place on the sideline over the course of IPL 2025, they have provided consistent snapshots, some of which have come back to bite them with MI now eliminated. After MI beat Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium to seal their place in this year’s playoffs, Ambani was seen holding up six fingers, indicating her belief in the team to go on and win a record-setting sixth IPL title.

It wasn’t to be for the team, as they had 200+ chased down against them for the first time in team history. Instead, it will be a battle between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and PBKS to decide which of these two teams can be the one to lift their first ever IPL title.
