Ritika Sajdeh & Sanjana Ganesan, among other players’ wives, leave Wankhede Stadium after MI vs GT IPL 2025 match [Watch]

Veteran cricketer Rohit Sharma’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and Jasprit Bumrah’s wife, Sanjana Ganesan, were among several players' spouses seen exiting the Wankhede Stadium following the IPL 2025 clash between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Gujarat Titans (GT). The match was played on Tuesday, May 6, in Mumbai.

Batting first, the hosts struggled to find their rhythm, finishing their 20 overs at 155/8. Will Jacks was the standout performer with 53 off 35 balls, while Suryakumar Yadav (35) and Corbin Bosch (27) made valuable contributions.

In response, GT lost Sai Sudharsan (5) in the second over. Shubman Gill and Jos Buttler (30) then steadied the innings with a 72-run stand off 63 balls for the second wicket. Sherfane Rutherford, coming in at No. 4, played some aggressive strokes to push GT to 107/2 in 14 overs, before rain interrupted play.

After the game resumed, Mumbai mounted a comeback, removing Gill (43), Rutherford (28), Shahrukh Khan (6), and Rashid Khan (2) in quick succession. GT found themselves under pressure at 132/6 after 18 overs, with Rahul Tewatia (5) and Gerald Coetzee (5) at the crease, when rain halted play once again.

The match was then shortened to 19 overs with a revised target of 147. GT required 15 runs off the final over, bowled by Deepak Chahar. The visitors held their nerve and clinched victory on the last ball, winning the thriller by three wickets.

Following the match, several players' family members, including Ritika Sajdeh, Sanjana Ganesan, Devisha Shetty (Suryakumar Yadav’s wife), and GT coach Ashish Nehra’s wife, Rushma Nehra, were seen leaving the stadium.

“I think we fought really well” - MI skipper Hardik Pandya reflects on the game against GT

The Mumbai Indians suffered a tough three-wicket defeat to Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans at Wankhede Stadium in the IPL 2025 on May 6. During the post-match presentation, MI captain Hardik Pandya praised his bowlers for their efforts, acknowledging their commitment. He said [as quoted by Cricbuzz]:

“I think we fought really well, we kept pushing as a group. I think it wasn't a 150 wicket, but we were short by 25 runs. Credit to the bowlers as they kept fighting (throughout the innings.). Dropped catches do bite you, but the catches didn't bite us much. Really happy with the boys giving their 120 percent in the field and not giving up. The ground wasn't wet in the first innings, but it was difficult for us as the rain kept coming in (during the second innings.) We had to play the game and we did that.”

The Mumbai Indians will next take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Sunday, May 11, in Dharamsala.
