In one of the most insane collapses of IPL 2025, Mumbai Indians pulled off a heist against Delhi Capitals, their worst loss of the season.
Chasing 206 at home and cruising for the win, DC self-destructed in dramatic fashion with three run-outs in three balls—yes, 18.4, 18.5 and 18.6.

What a finish for the Mumbai Indians! This is where MI turned the game around. The game started rough for DC with Jake Fraser-McGurk out first ball, but Karun Nair went ballistic, scoring 89 off 40 balls, including a 22-ball fifty.
He and Abishek Porel (33) stabilised the chase but once Karun was bowled by Santner, the momentum started to wobble.

Three run-outs. One over. Total chaos. The game flipped in a blink. MI didn’t just win—they stole the win from the jaws of defeat.
He didn’t bat big. He’s not the official captain. But Rohit Sharma’s leadership shone through.
His field placements were sharp, his temperament was cool and his on-field guidance was crucial in that final phase. He read the game like a master—and MI executed it to perfection.
This wasn’t just any loss for Delhi Capitals—it was their worst defeat of the season. Not in margin but in manner.
They had the game in their hands. At home. On a streak. And they threw it away. Meanwhile, MI broke DC’s winning streak and made a statement.
IPL 2025 just gave us a classic. A meltdown, a miracle and a masterstroke—all in one over.
And don’t forget, today’s match set a world record for a hat-trick of run-outs in IPL history!
