Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) clashed in the 63rd match of the IPL 2025. This is a must-win game for both the sides. Faf du Plessis captained DC in Axar Patel’s absence, won the toss, and chose to bowl first.
Rohit Sharma fell for just 5 runs, while Ryan Rickelton (25) and Will Jacks (21) added 25 runs for the second wicket. But MI soon found themselves struggling at 123/5 in the 17th over. It seemed like MI would end at below-par final total, but they still had Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir at the crease.
The duo smashed the DC bowlers, adding 57* runs in 21 balls for the 6th wicket. Dhir made 24* in 8 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes.
On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav bided his time and held one end up, but opened his shoulders in the final two overs, smacking 7 fours and 4 sixes, as he made 73* in 43 balls, powering MI to 180/5 in 20 overs on a sluggish pitch.
The cricket fraternity was all praises for Suryakumar Yadav’s knock and lauded him on social media.
