Delhi Capitals look to maintain unbeaten run against Mumbai Indians

The Mumbai Indians will face off against the Delhi Capitals in the opening match of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, as both teams aim to build on their impressive momentum and continue their winning streak in the competition.

Running high on four consecutive victories and an unblemished campaign so far, the Capitals arrive at Delhi’s run-friendly ground with a strong blend of explosive batters and reliable bowlers. Captain Axar Patel leads the attack with Kuldeep Yadav and Mitchell Starc offering support, while KL Rahul’s revitalized position in the middle order has added depth to their batting lineup.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians will be counting on a batter-friendly pitch to spark a turnaround for their underperforming top order, particularly with Rohit Sharma enduring a rough patch. With Jasprit Bumrah back to lead the pace unit and skipper Hardik Pandya effectively controlling the middle overs, MI’s bowling lineup might be better equipped for the challenge in Delhi.
