Later, in their hotel room, the MI star gave his wife the medal. On Thursday, May 22, he posted a touching video to Instagram with a humorous comment.Renowned for his style on and off the field, Suryakumar made sure his biggest admirer was beaming by taking a proud photo with his wife and the Player of the Match trophy."Biwi ne bola karneka matlab karneka" (Wife said to do it so it has to be done), he wrote in the caption of the video. In the video, he reminisced about how his wife had pointed out to him that he had not yet been named Player of the Match for the 2025 campaign. Suryakumar stayed true to his vow, determined to make it happen.

But Mumbai jumped to 180 runs thanks to a late assault by Suryakumar and Naman Dhir against Dushmantha Chameera and Mukesh Kumar.After that, MI bowled out the Delhi Capitals for just 121 in 18.3 overs, demonstrating their full ball-playing ability. The best bowler was Mitchell Santner, who took three wickets in his four overs for just eleven runs. As MI demonstrated their bowling prowess, Jasprit Bumrah also contributed with three wickets.The Mumbai Indians became the fourth club to earn a spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs with the decisive victory. The five-time winners still have a chance to place in the top two on the points table when they play Punjab Kings in their last league game on Monday.
