When we talk about the 2025 SRH vs MI highlights, this one’s going to stand out not just for the on-field action, but also for the emotion off it. The cricket was solid, sure, Mumbai Indians chased down a tricky-ish total with ease, but it was what happened before the first ball that really set the tone.

Why IPL Players Wearing Black Armbands？
This wasn’t your usual IPL night. No fireworks, no cheerleaders, no DJ pumping out beats. Instead, there was a stadium holding its breath — players, staff, and fans all standing still for a minute’s silence. Why? Because of the devastating terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, just a day earlier. It shook the nation, and the IPL paused its usual glam to honor the lives lost.
Let’s all stand for peace and humanity.
A minute’s silence was observed in Hyderabad to pay respect to the victims of Pahalgam terror attack.

As a mark of respect, IPL players wearing black armbands took the field, mourning with quiet dignity. It was a rare sight in a tournament known for its color and chaos. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made it clear: no entertainment tonight, just cricket, and remembrance.

At the toss, both captains spoke with heavy hearts:
- Hardik Pandya (MI captain): “We strongly condemn such cowardly attacks (Pahalgam terror attack) on our people.”
- Pat Cummins (SRH captain): “It’s heartbreaking to hear the Pahalgam news. We as Australians stand behind Indian people, our strong condolences go out to the family. India is always welcoming to us.”
It wasn’t just cricket, it was solidarity.
2025 SRH vs MI Match Result：Replaying the Moments
Time to zoom into the real action from the 2025 SRH vs MI highlights, because while the atmosphere was somber, the cricket was full of storylines.
Powerplay Problems for SRH
Sunrisers Hyderabad were sent in to bat first by Hardik Pandya, and right from the get-go, it was clear that Mumbai Indians’ bowlers meant business. Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar bowled with fire — swinging the ball, varying the pace, and exploiting every bit of early moisture and stickiness in the surface. SRH’s innings was in pieces before it even got going.
By the end of the fourth over, SRH were gasping at 13/4. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma both tried to muscle early boundaries but ended up mistiming their shots, caught while trying to hit across the line. Then came one of the more bizarre moments of the day: Ishan Kishan walked back for a leg-side strangle even though there was barely an appeal. UltraEdge later showed there was no spike — but the damage was done.
Nitish Reddy added to the pile-up, chipping one tamely to mid-on. And when Aniket Verma got a rising off-cutter from Pandya that cramped him for room and found his gloves, it was 35/5, and things were looking dangerously close to a single-digit collapse.
Upping the ante.

Klaasen and Manohar Dig In
Then came the fightback. Heinrich Klaasen, who quietly became SRH’s most consistent batter, showed grit and class. Joined by Abhinav Manohar, the duo set out to repair the innings one ball at a time. At first, they rotated the strike, focused on survival, and punished only the bad balls.

Klaasen flicked a switch in the 10th over, taking on Vignesh Puthur’s short balls with confidence. One six, two fours, and 15 runs later, the pressure began to lift. The very next over, he took 16 off Hardik Pandya with smart placement and power hitting.
We believe 🤞

Klaasen’s reverse scoop for six over Bumrah in the 19th over was a standout — not just for the audacity, but because it came against one of the world’s best death bowlers. He finished with 71 off 44 balls, striking at over 160, hitting 9 fours and 2 sixes. It wasn’t a whirlwind knock, but it was smart, well-paced, and exactly what SRH needed.
Manohar, too, deserves credit, his 43 off 37 was steady, with three sixes and two boundaries. Together, they put on 99 runs off 63 balls for the sixth wicket and dragged SRH to something respectable: 143/8.
Innings Break!

Boult Closes the Door
Even so, Mumbai wasn’t done yet. Trent Boult returned for the final over and delivered another punch. A perfect yorker snuck under Manohar’s bat, but as he tried to dig it out from deep in the crease, his foot knocked the stumps: a rare hit-wicket! Boult picked up two wickets in that over, closing the innings with figures of 4 for 26 — a match-defining spell.

Rohit Leads the Reply
Then came the chase, and MI made it look like a walk in the park. Ryan Rickelton fell early to Jaydev Unadkat, who also celebrated his 100th IPL wicket, but after that, it was all Mumbai. Rohit Sharma, fresh off a 76* in the last game, was seeing it like a beach ball again. He got going with a clean six, and then targeted both pace and spin alike with crisp timing. Pat Cummins, hoping to use his slower cutters on the sticky surface, got pulled and lofted for boundaries.
Will Jacks played the aggressor briefly, adding 27 off 19, and helped MI cruise to 56/1 in the powerplay. He eventually holed out, but his job was done. From there, it was just textbook Rohit. His 70 off 46 had everything — fluent cover drives, backfoot punches, and a six that cleared long-off with ease. He brought up his second consecutive fifty this season and kept MI’s asking rate well in check. When Rohit fell in the 15th over, chipping a full toss to midwicket. The game was already nearly done. MI needed just 14 more runs from 32 balls.

Suryakumar Yadav Finishes in Style
Suryakumar Yadav ensured there were no late stumbles. He finished unbeaten on 40 off just 19 balls, peppering the boundary with effortless flicks and slaps. One of his final shots, a pull that should’ve been caught at square leg but was misjudged, summed up SRH’s night: not quite good enough. And that’s your final 2025 SRH vs MI match result: Mumbai Indians won by 7 wickets with 26 balls remaining.
What This Means for the Table？
4️⃣th consecutive win for the @mipaltan 👌

So, what does this 2025 SRH vs MI match result mean for both teams? Well, MI are officially back in business. That’s four wins in a row now after a rough start, and they’ve jumped up to third on the table. Their confidence is building, their top order is clicking, and the bowlers are doing their job early — a dangerous sign for other teams.

On the flip side, SRH are in trouble. This was their sixth loss in eight games, and they’re now stuck near the bottom of the table. Their net run rate has taken another hit, and unless they pull off a miracle run from here, playoff hopes are slipping away fast.
Conclusion
So there you have it, the 2025 SRH vs MI highlights delivered solid cricket but were framed by something much bigger than the game. With IPL players wearing black armbands and a stadium standing still in silence, this match reminded us that sport has the power to pause, reflect, and unite.
For his match-winning spell, Trent Boult is tonight’s Player of the Match 👏

On the field, it was MI all the way, and their win adds another twist to this already unpredictable season. But off the field? It was about heart, respect, and standing together when it matters most.
