Ahead of the game, former MI captain Rohit Sharma will be in focus. Last week, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) honoured the right-hander by naming a stand after him for his contribution to Indian cricket. It will be interesting to see if the 38-year-old manages to hit a couple of maximums into the stand named in his honour

After suffering a humiliating 10-wicket loss in their previous IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals are all set to lock horns with Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium.
Ahead of the game, former MI captain Rohit Sharma will be in focus. Last week, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) honoured the right-hander by naming a stand after him for his contribution to Indian cricket. It will be interesting to see if the 38-year-old manages to hit a couple of maximums into the stand named in his honour.
One point to watch out for is whether DC give Karun Nair an opportunity in case KL Rahul is sidelined due to injury, especially considering the knock Nair delivered the last time Delhi faced the Paltan. Since then, the 33-year-old has been struggling to regain his form.
