The high-scoring affair saw lots of cricketing records being made and broken, as mentioned below. 

All Records Broken In MI vs PBKS IPL Qualifier

Punjab Kings Chase Highest Total In IPL Playoffs History

204 is now the highest-ever successful run-chase in the IPL playoffs history. The previous best was KKR's 200-run chase in the 2014 final, coincidentally against PBKS. However, the Kings attained new heights with the record chase against Mumbai Indians in a playoff clash. 

Punjab Kings Become 1st Team To Chase A 200-Plus Total Vs MI

Led by Shreyas Iyer, Punjab Kings became the first-ever IPL team to chase a 200-plus score against Mumbai Indians. RR's clinical 196-run chase in the 2020 edition was the best ever against the five-time champions until Iyer's stellar show propelled PBKS to glory. 

Shreyas Iyer Records Most 50-Plus Scores As A Captain In IPL Playoffs

Regarded for his scintillating stroke play, Shreyas Iyer had the joint-most fifty-plus scores (2) as a captain in the IPL playoffs. However, as he slammed a match-winning 87* last night, he went past MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and David Warner, becoming the first captain to hit three fifties in the IPL playoffs. 

Shreyas Iyer Becomes 1st Captain To Lead 3 Different Teams To IPL Finals

Shreyas Iyer attained a historic feat following Punjab's win over MI, becoming the first-ever skipper to lead three different teams to the IPL finals. For the unversed, Iyer powered DC to the IPL 2020 final before leading KKR to the title last season. If PBKS wins the title, he will be the first captain to lift the IPL trophy with two different franchises.  

PBKS Register Joint-Most 200-Plus Totals In A Single T20 Tournament Edition

The 204-run chase against MI marked Punjab Kings' eighth 200-plus score this season, the most by any team in an edition of a T20 tournament. They went levels with Gujarat Titans (GT), the only other team with eight 200-plus totals in IPL 2025. PBKS also became the first-ever T20 team in history to chase eight 200-plus totals in an edition.
