After PBKS defeated MI in IPL 2025 Qualifier 2, ex-India cricketer Irfan Pathan said, "Despite having so many match-winners, [MI] are still not able to win the IPL trophy." "MI will surely look into things deeply, you don’t get these kinds of match-winners in many T20 teams," Pathan added. Notably, PBKS will face RCB in the final on June 3.
