Punjab Kings' captain Shreyas Iyer was spotted speaking to Mumbai Indians' owner Akash Ambani amid the IPL 2025 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 26 (Monday). A few pictures of the same surfaced on social media as Akash Ambani was seen sitting comfortably to watch the action unfolding.
Iyer had earlier won the toss at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium as both sides continued their battle for clinching the top two spot at the end of the league stage ahead of the playoffs. While the Punjab Kings are coming off a six-wicket defeat to the Delhi Capitals, who were consigned to a 59-run defeat by the Mumbai Indians.
Watch the below visuals but it was unclear what the conversation between them was about:
Suryakumar Yadav makes 57 as Mumbai Indians drag themselves to 184/7 in 20 overs
With the Mumbai Indians put into bat, their famed batting line-up couldn't flourish as expected. Although Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton began in a promising manner, the responsibility fell on Suryakumar Yadav to hold the innings after walking in at number three.
The right-handed batter, who struck 73 against the Delhi Capitals in the trick conditions at the Wankhede Stadium, struck 57 off 39 deliveries. Among the lower-order batters, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir chipped in with cameos of 26 and 20, respectively.
