Punjab Kings (PBKS) secured a place in the top 2 and overtook Mumbai Indians (MI). Shreyas Iyer became the first captain in the history of IPL to guide three different teams (Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Punjab Kings) to the top 2 in different seasons, a rare feat achieved by the star India batter.

After the match between PBKS and MI, when the rivalry was over, Rohit Sharma and Iyer took a moment to interact with each other. Rohit, with his natural characteristics, again caught the spotlight. The former Mumbai Indians skipper went to congratulate Shreyas in a unique manner. In a video shared by the Mumbai Indians from their official social media accounts, we can see Sharma imitating Shreyas Iyer's walking style with a smile on his face. 

Yesterday, the Mumbai Indians scored 184 for 7, batting first. Rohit Sharma started off his innings confidently but couldn't turn the innings massively. Nehal Wadhera made an extraordinary effort in the field to catch out the right-handed batter, Rohit departed for 24. Suryakumar Yadav at number 3 endorsed another half-century, this time 57 off 39, to take Mumbai Indians to a fighting total of 184.

The match was similarly crucial for both teams, as PBKS and MI both had a chance to confirm a top 2 spot. Iyer's PBKS was unstoppable; they achieved the total with 7 wickets and 9 balls to spare. Josh Inglis, for his 73 off 42, got the man of the match award. Shreyas Iyer remained not out for 26, facing 16 balls.

After the PBKS vs. MI match, Shreyas Iyer led the side, now in first position with 19 points after 14 games. Gujarat Titans is in the second spot with 18 points in 14 matches, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, remaining to play their last league match, currently has 17 points in 13 games. Mumbai Indians, with 16 points, are in the 4th spot after playing 14 matches.
