Axar Patel-led Delhi Capitals (DC) will host Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Arun Jaitely Stadium on Sunday (April 13). This will be DC's first game at this venue. With 4 wins from as many matches, DC are at the second spot while MI are reeling at the 8th position in the points table. They have only managed to win 1 out of their 5 games.
All eyes will be on Rohit Sharma during the fixture as he has struggled with the bat. The former MI captain has scores of 0, 8, 13 and 17 in four innings. Rohit has been playing as an Impact Player and another few failures can result in MI moving on from him. Not to forget, he has now retired from T20Is.

Rohit has scored 5496 runs in 216 matches for them at an average of 29.07. His tally includes 2 centuries and 35 half-centuries. Rohit captained MI to 5 IPL title wins from 2013 to 2023. He was removed from captaincy before IPL 2024 and now plays under Hardik Pandya.

Virat Kohli is the only batsman in IPL's history to score 5500 runs for an IPL franchise. He has piled up 8190 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) since his debut for them in 2008.
