FIERCE BATTLE: MUMBAI INDIANS VS DELHI CAPITALS

The clash between two of the most followed and excellent teams in the IPL promises to be a riveting contest. It will be a contest between ‘Pani Puri’ and ‘Gol Gappe’. On one side is the most successful IPL franchise led by Rohit Sharma, and on the other side is the most promising young team in the tournament, with the youngest captain Shreyas Iyer.

Delhi Capitals, with Ricky Ponting as their head coach who was with Mumbai Indians previously, might spring a surprise on the four-time champions this time around. With a young captain and an experienced coaching staff, DC can be considered as one of the top title contenders this season.

Mumbai Indians are the current champions, but Delhi showed significant progress last season by qualifying for the playoffs under a new captain. They are even stronger this season with a solid top order and balanced bowling unit. Mumbai has the most potent fast bowling line-up which will test Delhi’s top-order.

Let’s have a closer look at the numbers head to head:
