Having bowled two overs, Ngidi was smashed for 19 runs, and Vipraj also leaked 18 runs. Kuldeep has also conceded eight runs in one over.
Earlier, DC skipper Axar won the toss and elected to bowl first against MI at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
The "Paltan" suffered a huge blow as their regular skipper, Hardik Pandya, will miss the contest as he is not feeling well. In his absence, Suryakumar Yadav is leading MI.
MI entered the clash with three changes. Mitchell Santner came in place of AM Ghazanfar, Corbin Bosch also replaced Trent Boult, and Deepak Chahar will take the field in place of Hardik.
It will be interesting to see which team manage to keep their winning momentum.
