A strange thing happened after Mumbai Indians’ recent match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG); fans noticed that Tilak Varma, one of MI’s young batters, had reportedly removed “Mumbai Indians” from his Instagram bio. This move came after a controversial moment during the game, leading people to believe the two events might be connected. But what’s the full story?

What Happened in the Match?

Mumbai Indians were chasing a big total of 204 runs set by LSG in an IPL 2025 match at the Ekana Cricket Stadium. The game was quite close, but MI eventually lost by 12 runs. Things got really intense in the 19th over when LSG’s Shardul Thakur bowled a brilliant spell, giving away just 7 runs.

During this over, something unexpected happened - MI’s Impact Player, Tilak Varma, was suddenly retired out and sent back to the dugout. He had scored 25 runs off 23 balls and was struggling to find rhythm. Instead of letting him finish the game, the team brought in Mitchell Santner as his replacement. But despite the big move, MI ended up losing.


Did Tilak Varma Really Remove “Mumbai Indians” from His Instagram Bio?

After the match, fans noticed that Tilak’s Instagram bio no longer mentioned “Mumbai Indians.” This led to rumors that he removed the name out of frustration over being retired out. However, there’s no official confirmation from Tilak or the team about this. It’s possible he never had it there in the first place or it might’ve been changed for other reasons.

So, right now, we can’t say for sure if this was done because of the match or if it’s just a coincidence.
