Mumbai Indians (MI) lost to Punjab Kings (PBKS) by seven wickets in their final league match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. With this defeat, MI finished fourth on the points table and will now have to go through the Eliminator and then Qualifier 2 if they want to win their sixth IPL trophy. MI scored 184 runs while batting first, but Punjab chased it down easily in 18.3 overs with seven wickets in hand.

MI Hope for Chahar’s Quick Recovery Ahead of Eliminator

During the match, Deepak Chahar, who has had many injuries in the past, seemed to hurt his hamstring again. He started bowling the second over of Punjab’s innings but had to call the physio after just one delivery. His left hamstring was strapped before he continued and finished the over.

After completing the over, Chahar left the field to get more treatment. He later bowled a total of three overs and gave away 28 runs. Mumbai Indians will be hoping that the injury is not serious, as they need Chahar to be fit for the upcoming Eliminator and possibly beyond.
