IPL 2025: Under the captaincy of Akshar Patel, Delhi Capitals started in season 18. The team had won the initial 4 matches continuously, after which it seemed that Delhi could become the first team to make a place in the playoffs. But after this, the team continued to rise up and down in the points table, then after the postponement of IPL, Mitchell Starc returning home proved to be a big setback for Delhi. Delhi won its last match of the season by 6 wickets against Punjab Kings on Saturday.

Delhi Capitals bought India’s Tej T Natarajan for IPL 2025 for Rs 10 crore 75 lakh, the team would have spent such a huge amount because he would expect Natarajan that he would be his important bowler. A bowler can put a maximum of 4 overs in T20, but the bowler who bought Delhi in such a huge amount, he did not even take 4 overs in the entire season.

T Natarajan scored 18 balls in IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals also bought Mitchell Starc with T20 Natarajan, fans felt that both of them would be the main fast bowlers of the team. Stark even bowled brilliantly, but due to the postponement of IPL, he had to return home and he did not return again. Talking about Natarajan, he put only 3 overs throughout the season. He played only 2 matches and put 3 overs in a single match.

T Natarajan spent 3 overs against Gujarat Titans in the match played on 18 May, in which he scored 49 runs from an economy of more than 16. He proved to be very expensive, Delhi Capitals lost this match badly by 10 wickets. Sai Sudarshan scored an unbeaten 108 and Shubman Gill scored 93 not out.

Questioning teams in IPL 2025 playoffs

Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians.

IPL 2025 Qualification Scenarios for Mi and Dc: Today, the 63rd match of IPL 2025 is important in terms of playoffs. There is a possibility of rain in this match to be held at the Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai, so the question in the mind of the fans is that if the match is canceled due to rain then what will be the effect. Because now only Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals are left in the IPL playoff race.

Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings have confirmed their playoff tickets. While 5 teams (CSK, RR, SRH, LSG and KKR) are out of the race. Now there is a playoff fight between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals. And today there is a clash between these two in Wankhede.

If Mumbai Indians defeat Delhi Capitals

If Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals in the match to be held today, then Hardik Pandya and Team will confirm their place in the playoffs. The journey of Delhi Capitals will end.

What will be the equation if Delhi defeats Mumbai today?

If Delhi Capitals defeat Mumbai Indians today, then today no team will confirm a place in the playoffs, but the difficulty of Mumbai Indians will increase. Currently, Delhi has 13 points after 12 matches. If she wins today, she will get 15 points.

The next match of Delhi is with Punjab Kings, winning it will lead to 17 points from Delhi and it will qualify for the playoffs because if Mumbai wins its last match, it will have only 16 points. Even if both Delhi and Mumbai lose to Punjab Kings, Delhi will qualify for the playoffs.

In this situation, Mumbai will have to lose their next match to Punjab Kings and Mumbai defeat Punjab in their next match. Then Delhi will have only 15 points and Mumbai will have 16 points.

What will be the equation if Mi vs DC match is canceled due to rain

If the match is canceled due to rain, then both teams will get 1-1 points. In this situation, Mumbai Indians will have 15 points and Delhi Capitals will get 14 points. Then what will be the equation of both teams.

Delhi Capitals

Delhi will have to defeat Punjab Kings in the next match, so it will get 16 points. But this will not be enough. Because after this, there is to be a fight between Mumbai and Punjab. If Mumbai wins in that match, then Delhi’s journey will end, but if Punjab defeats Mumbai, Delhi will qualify.

Mumbai Indians

If Delhi loses in its next match, then its journey will end with 14 points, while Mumbai will have the first 15 points, then it will directly qualify. But if Delhi defeats Punjab, it will get 16 points. In such a situation, Mumbai will have to win their last match.

Mumbai weather today: Today, the 63rd match of the Indian Premier League season 18 is between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals (Mi Vs DC). This match to be held at Wankhede Cricket Stadium is important in terms of playoffs. If Delhi loses, it will be out of the playoff race and will become the fourth team to qualify Mumbai. While Delhi wins, no team team will qualify. But if the match is canceled due to rain, then its loss will be more to Delhi.

On Tuesday, the Indian Meteorological Department issued a Yellow alert for Mumbai for the next 4 days. If the match is canceled due to rain, then both teams will be given 1-1 points, in this case 15 points from Mumbai and 14 points in Delhi. Then the next match of both teams is with Punjab Kings. If Mumbai wins that match, even if Delhi wins its last match, it will be out.

What did the co-owner of Delhi Capitals write

He wrote, “There is a forecast of heavy rains in Mumbai and there is a strong possibility that the game will be washed away. The way the game between RCB vs SRH has been transferred out of Bengaluru in search of stability and in the interest of the league, similarly I request that the game of tomorrow (May 21) should be transferred to another place, because we know the heavy rain in Mumbai for the last 6 days.”

A letter to the BCCI was also written by KKR, which expressed displeasure that despite the forecast of rain, the RCB vs KKR match of an additional 60 minutes was not brought in the match even though it has now been implemented.

What if the rain has been canceled Mi vs DC match?

Now Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals have played 12-12 matches. Mumbai has 14 points and Delhi has 13 points. If today’s match is canceled due to rain, then both teams will get 1-1 points, in such a situation 15 points from Mumbai and 14 points in Delhi.

The last match of both teams is with Punjab Kings. Then even if Delhi defeats Punjab, it will have to wait for the result of Punjab vs Mumbai match. If Mumbai wins in that match, then Delhi will be out of the playoffs race and if you lose, Delhi will go to the playoffs. On the other hand, if Delhi loses its match to Punjab, then it will be out of the race, even if Mumbai loses its last match.

He has been flopping continuously since playing a brilliant innings of 89 runs in the first match of IPL 2025, after which he was trolled badly on social media. People are making fun of their old tweets.

Prior to IPL 2025, Karun Nair did well in domestic cricket. Nair, who played 6 Tests, 2 ODIs, played the last international match in 2017. On 10 December 2022, Karun Nair wrote a tweet, “Dear cricket, give me another chance.” (Dear Cricket, GOVE ME ONE More Chance).
