Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected to bowl first in Match 63 of the Indian Premier League 2025 against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium. Faf du Plessis, leading in the absence of regular skipper Axar Patel, confirmed that Axar has been really sick over the past two days and will be sorely missed tonight. “Axar is not there, Axar is two players and it’s difficult to replace him,” du Plessis said.

For Mumbai Indians, Mitchell Santner, who had sustained an injury earlier, is back in the playing XI. Hardik Pandya admitted MI would have preferred to bowl too but said the team is focused on playing their best cricket with all players excited and ready.
