Drama filled the 69th IPL 2025 encounter between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Fans had plenty to appreciate on May 26, from Hardik Pandya ignoring the PBKS captain to MI owner Akash Ambani's enthusiastic conversation with Shreyas Iyer.

On Monday, Punjab Kings made news by securing a top-two finish and becoming the first club to qualify for the IPL 2025 playoffs.

In addition to securing their place in Qualifier 1, the Shreyas Iyer-led PBKS' commanding seven-wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians put an end to their 11-year tournament playoff drought.

Additionally, Shreyas Iyer's Punjab Kings’ squad has advanced to the playoffs three times, demonstrating his leadership abilities once more. The Indian middle-order batsman had previously guided the Kolkata Knight Riders to the championship last season and the Delhi Capitals to the finals.

Everyone's attention was drawn to a few other striking instances while Punjab supporters celebrated the team's historic moment.

As Suryakumar Yadav approached his half-century in the 18th over, the cameras caught a startling event as Iyer and Akash Ambani were seen having a heated argument close to the Jaipur boundary line.

Iyer and the owner of MI were spotted engaging in a lively conversation as Iyer bent over the advertising board to speak with him.

Hardik Pandya ignores Shreyas Iyer twice

Hardik Pandya was seen on camera purposefully disregarding Shreyas Iyer twice following PBKS' victory over MI in their pivotal IPL 2025 match on Monday. The MI players arrived to congratulate the skipper on the victory after Iyer concluded the Punjab Kings game.

MI teammates congratulated Iyer and shook hands with the PBKS skipper as he prepared to leave the field. Twice, Hardik Pandya betrayed him while blatantly disregarding his close friend.

The MI captain shook hands with his colleagues, but on the first occasion, he appeared to pass Iyer without saying anything. On the second occasion, Iyer and Pandya faced each other, but the all-rounder did not congratulate him or shake hands with him.
