Yes looks like weather is clear

Axar has flu. So Faf s the captain.

DC wins the toss and will bowl first.

Mumbai come on . Win it .and then beat rcb 🤣🤣

MI will be happy that Axar s not playing i guess.

Faf du Plessis: (On Axar)Really sick in the last two days. We'll miss him today. Playing a good team today, we are up for it. We haven't been at our best in the last 5-6 games. Everyday there's a new opportunity. Looks a bit dry, we're chasing. Axar is not there, Axar is two players and it's difficult to replace him. We'll see how it goes.

Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to field

It's time for the toss. du Plessis is out for the toss instead of Axar Patel. A bit of big news early. Hardik, as expected, lines up as MI's captain. Hardik, by virtue of being the home captain, gives the coin a twirl. du Plessis calls and he calls correctly. Axar is down with a really bad flu, he mentions and thoughts go out to him for his recovery. A big opportunity, he adds, to have a crack at the playoffs. Mentions they have not been at their best and they are hoping to compete as best as they can with their best skill-set, and if that happens, they can beat anyone. And finally Ravi Shastri asks what DC are going to do, and du Plessis responds with chasing.

Hardik Pandya: It's been under covers for a couple of days. We would have liked to bowl as well, but it's okay. Every game is important from now onwards, we want to play our best cricket. The boys are very excited.

This flu season is too draining. I also have fever and extreme weakness.

Covid s also starting slowly.
