Match Overview

Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians will be up against each other in the 63rd Match of the IPL 2025. Both teams are in contention for a spot in the playoffs, and their match could be an indirect knockout clash. Mumbai Indians start as the favorites due to the Capitals’ current form and the strength of either side on paper.

MI has a strong batting lineup consisting of Rohit Sharma, Naman Dhir, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tilak Varma. Even their bowling has come good with Karn Sharma, Trent Boult, Ashwani Kumar, and Deepak Chahar helping Jasprit Bumrah.

On the other hand, DC’s form has disappeared after starting the tournament on a great note. In their first six matches, DC had five wins and lost just one of their matches. Since then, the 2020 runners-up have won just a solitary match and lost four matches, with one of their matches ending without a result. Their bowling unit has been disappointing, while some of their key batters have either failed or have not converted good starts into big knocks.

Both teams have some of the best players in the world in their line-ups. While MI has Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma, and others, DC has KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and others. It could be a great contest at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday evening, as the qualification of both teams highly depends on the result of this match.

MI vs DC Pitch Report

The match will start at 7:30 PM in the evening, which witnesses early swing due to the sea breeze. Pacers from both sides can make good use of the new ball and trouble the batters, making it one of the toughest venues to score runs at the beginning.

With the progression of the match, the wicket gets better, and the red soil makes it a good surface to bat on, generally. Spinners get some turn too, but pacers will play a huge role in the success of their teams. Dew is unlikely to be a factor; however toss could be a big one. Team winning the toss would love to bowl first and restrict their opponents to a low total.

MI vs DC Match – Weather update:

  • Rain forecast: 30-60%
  • Temperature: 28-30°C
  • Humidity: 80-85%

MI vs DC Match Prediction – Toss Prediction & Impact

MI vs DC Toss winner likely to choose: Bowl first

The Wankhede Stadium is one of the best batting venues in the country. The flat pitch and the small boundaries make it easier for the batters to score big. Additionally, the bowlers also get some swing with the ball early on in the night games. So, both the teams are expected to bowl first after winning the toss.

MI vs DC Head-to-Head Record 

MI and DC have faced each other in 36 instances in IPL history since 2008. MI has a slight advantage, with 20 wins to their name. DC has won 16 matches, and none of their matches have ended without a result.

Expert Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

  • If MI bat first, they are expected to post around 190-200. The Wankhede pitch will be ideal for batting and with MI in good form, a big score is expected. They also have ample firepower in their bowling lineup to defend a good total.
  • If DC bat first, they are likely to score around 170-180. DC have struggled with their bowling in recent games and their bowlers might fail to defend the total once again.

IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC Updates

Authorities abandoned the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals after 10.1 overs due to a “significant technical failure” at HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal called off the game as a precaution after Jammu authorities issued a red alert. Officials evacuated fans, players, and staff immediately; many players left the stadium still wearing batting pads.

Punjab Kings had started strongly, scoring 122/1 in 10.1 overs. Opener Priyansh Arya smashed 70 off 34 balls, while Prabhsimran Singh remained unbeaten on 50. Rain delayed the toss earlier in the day, pushing back the start of play.

(AP Photo)IPL 2025, PBKS vs DC: Spectators leave the stands after authorities evacuated the stadium during the Indian Premier League cricket match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.

PBKS were chasing victory in the game against Delhi knowing that a win could make them the first team to confirm top four playoff spot. Both teams has been around since the inception of the IPL, 18 years ago — albeit with different names — but have never won the title. If that has to change this season, the first step would be to secure a spot in the IPL playoffs.

After the draw, Punjab Kings still sit third with 16 points from 12 matches, while Delhi are in 5th spot with 14 points. Shreyas Iyer’s side are on the same number of points as the top 2 sides, Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. But a win today would have taken them to the top with 17 points.

PBKS vs DC IPL Match Most Runs

PBKS batter Priyansh Arya scored 70 runs off 34 deliveries, hitting five fours and six sixes.

Match Most Wickets

DC pacer T Natarajan (1/4) took one wicket.

Sameer Rizvi: The Rising Star of Indian Cricket

About Him


Born on December 6, 2003 , in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh , Sameer Rizvi is a dynamic right-handed batter with an off-break bowling style. Widely dubbed the “right-handed Suresh Raina ” for his aggressive strokeplay and fielding prowess 7, he has emerged as one of India’s most promising young talents. At just 21 years old , his career already reflects a blend of raw power, tactical awareness, and relentless ambition .

Early Career


Rizvi’s cricketing journey began in his hometown, where his flair for aggressive batting caught attention early. By the age of 16 , he made his first-class debut for Uttar Pradesh in the 2019–20 Ranji Trophy , showcasing maturity beyond his years 3. His performances in U-19 cricket further solidified his reputation as a future star, earning him a spot in domestic leagues and youth tournaments.

Domestic Career


Rizvi’s domestic career took off when he represented Kanpur Superstars in the UP T20 League . In 2023 , he became the tournament’s highest run-getter , amassing 455 runs , a testament to his consistency and adaptability in high-pressure matches 10. His exploits for Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy highlighted his ability to anchor innings and accelerate when needed, making him a vital cog in the state team .

International Career


As of 2025, Rizvi is yet to make his international debut, but his performances in domestic and franchise cricket have placed him firmly on the radar of selectors. His aggressive approach against spinners and sharp reflexes in the field align with modern T20 requirements, positioning him as a potential candidate for India’s limited-overs setup in the near future .

IPL Career


Rizvi’s breakthrough came when he joined the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2023 auction . Though he has played only 8 matches so far , scoring 51 runs at an average of 12.75 , his impact has been memorable. On his IPL debut , he smashed a six off the very first ball he faced, announcing his arrival on the big stage . Despite limited opportunities, his fearless batting and ability to target spinners have drawn comparisons to CSK legend Suresh Raina . Now Rizvi bought by the Delhi Capitals for Rs. 95 lakh in 2025.

Other T20 Leagues & T10 League


Beyond the IPL, Rizvi has dominated the UP T20 League , where his 2023 heroics earned him recognition as a finisher. While details about his participation in T10 leagues remain sparse, his explosive style suggests he could thrive in the shortest format. His adaptability across leagues underscores his versatility, whether anchoring an innings or chasing steep targets .

Strong Zone


Rizvi’s strength lies in his fearless approach against spin , a skill honed through years of domestic grind. His power-hitting in the middle and death overs, combined with lightning-quick reflexes in the field , makes him a match-winner. Known for his 360-degree strokeplay , he excels in high-pressure situations, often turning games with audacious shots 57. His off-spin adds depth to his game, offering captains flexibility in tight matches .

Legacy & Future Prospects


Though still early in his career, Rizvi’s trajectory mirrors that of a future Indian cricket icon. Emerging from Uttar Pradesh’s underfunded cricket ecosystem, his rise symbolizes perseverance and talent. With CSK’s mentorship and consistent domestic performances, he aims to break into India’s white-ball squads. Analysts predict he could evolve into a middle-order enforcer in T20Is, much like MS Dhoni or Andre Russell, blending finishing skills with leadership .

Kuldeep Yadav: The Chinaman Sensation of Indian Cricket

Early Career & Rise to Prominence

Kuldeep Yadav’s cricketing journey began in Kanpur, where he initially trained as a fast bowler. However, his coach Kapil Pandey recognized his natural flair for spin and encouraged him to switch to left-arm wrist bowling . This pivotal decision laid the foundation for his unique style. At 17, he represented India in the Under-19 circuit in 2012 9, and his breakthrough came at the 2014 Under-19 World Cup , where he emerged as India’s leading wicket-taker and became the first Indian bowler to claim a hat-trick in the tournament .


Domestic Cricket

Kuldeep plays for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket. He made his first-class debut in the 2013–14 Ranji Trophy season and steadily built his reputation as a wicket-taking spinner. In the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy, he claimed 15 wickets in seven matches, showcasing his ability to perform in longer formats 2. Despite being primarily an international player, his domestic contributions remain crucial for Uttar Pradesh, especially in white-ball tournaments like the Vijay Hazare Trophy.


International Career

Kuldeep’s international debut came in June 2014 in an ODI against Zimbabwe. However, his rise to stardom accelerated after the 2018 Nidahas Trophy , where he took 10 wickets in 5 matches, earning the Player of the Series award 7. Key highlights include:

  • ODI Hat-Tricks : He is the first Indian bowler to take two hat-tricks in ODIs (2018 vs Australia and 2019 vs West Indies) .
  • 2019 World Cup : He was India’s highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 14 scalps , including a five-wicket haul against England .
  • Test Debut : Made his Test debut in October 2018 against West Indies, taking 4 wickets in his first innings .
  • T20I Impact : With 50+ wickets in T20Is, he remains a vital cog in India’s spin attack across formats.

Kuldeep Yadav IPL factfile

– Kuldeep Yadav is the most successful left-arm wristspinner in the IPL.

– He was first introduced by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2016 in a continuation of their faith in left-arm wristspin, first starting alongside Brad Hogg and then replacing the veteran Australian.

– His form fell away in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, and he missed IPL 2021 due to a knee injury before being let go by KKR.

– In 2022, after six seasons with KKR, he was picked by Delhi Capitals (DC). The move seemed to work for him, 2022 being his most prolific IPL season: he took 21 wickets at a strike rate of 14.19, finishing in the tournament’s top-five wicket-takers. He has stayed with DC since.

– There was a bit of a lull in 2023 when Kuldeep managed only ten wickets in 14 matches, but he bounced back in style in 2024, finishing the season with 16 wickets in 11 outings. Kuldeep was one of four players retained by DC ahead of IPL 2025 for INR 13.25 crore (USD 1.58 million approx).


Strengths & Bowling Style

Kuldeep’s chinaman bowling (left-arm wrist spin with a right-hand action) sets him apart. His strengths include:

  • Variations : Carrom ball, googly, and a sharp wrong’un that deceive batsmen .
  • Economy in Middle Overs : He excels in choking run flow and taking wickets between overs 10–40 in ODIs.
  • Death Bowling : Surprisingly effective with slower deliveries and yorkers in T20s, despite traditional skepticism about spinners in death overs.
  • Wicket-Taking Ability : His knack for breaking partnerships and taking consecutive wickets (evident in his hat-tricks) makes him a game-changer .

Legacy & Impact on Indian Cricket

Kuldeep Yadav revolutionized left-arm wrist-spin in India , a rarity before his emergence. He has inspired a new generation of spinners, proving that unconventional techniques can thrive at the highest level. His achievements include:

  • Record-Setter : First Indian to take two ODI hat-tricks and the fastest to 100 ODI wickets (in 54 matches) .
  • Global Recognition : Ranked among the top 10 ODI bowlers by the ICC in 2019 .
  • Overcoming Challenges : Battled injuries and format-specific criticism to remain a key player in India’s limited-overs setup.

Despite fluctuations in form, Kuldeep’s legacy as a pioneer of chinaman bowling in India is secure. His ability to take wickets in clusters and adapt to modern cricket’s demands ensures his place in Indian cricket history .

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) continue their ongoing IPL 2025 campaign by taking on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their upcoming match. Both sides will face off at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata in the 57th game of the tournament on Wednesday, May 07.

Kolkata will be coming into the clash after registering a one-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the same venue. The recent win has kept their hopes alive to stay in the race for a playoff berth. The Ajinkya Rahane-led side will look to win all their remaining games and hope other team results land in their favour. 

On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side is coming off its fourth consecutive defeat. Being the first team to be eliminated this season, the Yellow Army has a good opportunity to spoil other teams’ parties. Notably, CSK has had an upper hand over the Men in Purple in the past and will look to better that.

Eden Gardens Pitch Report

The Eden Gardens pitch is expected to be an even contest. This season, the surface has helped seamers early with swing and bounce, while making it tough for spinners due to even grass cover.  Dew could play a major role in the second innings. In the previous match here, slow bowlers found grip and success, but this time, the pitch is expected to favour batters more. The team that wins the toss might look to bat first and put on a good total.

Temperature: 25-28°C (night).

Humidity: 60-75%, humid due to coastal proximity.

KKR vs CSK Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter of the Match—Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi
Angkrish Raghuvanshi

Angkrish Raghuvanshi could be the best batter in the upcoming game against the Chennai Super Kings. With 285 runs in his last 10 innings, the right-hand batter has been a dependable batter for the defending champions so far. The young batter is coming off a solid 44-run cameo against the Rajasthan Royals and will be hoping to carry on the same momentum. 

Probable Best Bowler of the Match—Varun Chakaravarthy

Varun Chakaravarthy.
Varun Chakaravarthy.

KKR’s star spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has always put his hand up whenever the team is in a tough spot. With 15 wickets in his last 11 matches, the mystery bowler has been KKR’s highest wicket-taker this season so far. Chakaravarthy, who is well-versed with the pitch conditions, will be looking to use them to his advantage and bamboozle the CSK batters.

Match Prediction: Team batting first to win the match

Scenario 1

If Kolkata Knight Riders bat first:

  • KKR PP: 60-70
  • KKR Total: 200-215
  • Kolkata Knight Riders to win

  • CSK PP: 50-60
  • CSK Total: 185-200
  • Chennai Super Kings to win

SRH vs DC match Preview

Rain put an official end to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) IPL 2025 playoffs hopes and gave Delhi Capitals (DC) what could be a valuable point in their bid to finish in the top four. It certainly looked like a point gained for DC rather than one lost, after Pat Cummins took three new-ball wickets to put SRH in the driver’s seat at the innings break.

However, rain disrupted the match shortly after Delhi Capitals concluded their innings at 133/7 . Meanwhile, despite weather clearing later, the outfield remained excessively wet. Consequently, ground staff couldn’t dry the field before the 11:42 PM deadline . As a result, the game was abandoned, denying Sunrisers Hyderabad a chance to bat

c Kishan b Cummins, again and again and again

A grass-free surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium proved to be a tricky one, offering enough grip for balls banged into a hard length to misbehave, and Cummins is a master of banging the ball into a hard length.

The SRH captain took the new ball himself with Mohammed Shami left out, and struck first ball, getting it to straighten and find Karun Nair’s edge. It was a sign of things to come, with the ball frequently stopping on the batter or – particularly if delivered with a wobbly seam – deviating sideways, usually just enough to find the edge.

By the time he had bowled 19 balls, Cummins had taken three wickets and Ishan Kishan – keeping for the first time this season, relieving Heinrich Klaasen of the gloves – three catches.

SRH  DC

With Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat also getting into the wickets column, DC were gasping at 29 for 5 in the eighth over. The fullish ball Unadkat bowled to dismiss KL Rahul, from left-arm around, summed up the conditions – on nine out of ten IPL pitches, Rahul would have probably middled the drive he attempted; this was the tenth pitch, and the ball straightened to kiss his edge and make Kishan the first keeper to catch out an entire top four in an IPL innings.

Stubbs and Ashutosh steer DC towards respectability

Tristan Stubbs anchored DC’s recovery from that point, putting on 33 with Vipraj Nigam for the sixth wicket – Nigam sacrificed his wicket following a mix-up that left both batters at the same end – and 66 with Ashutosh Sharma for the seventh.

As they have done in other recent games, DC named a bowler-heavy starting XI despite batting first, and brought Ashutosh off the Impact Player bench when the need arose. And Ashutosh was primarily responsible for a late flourish that brought DC 61 runs off their last six overs, hitting three sixes in a 26-ball 41. Stubbs finished unbeaten on 41 off 36 balls.

Rain ends SRH’s hopes

Rain began soon after DC’s innings ended, leaving SRH waiting to begin a chase that eventually never took place.

With three games left to play, SRH can finish the league stage with a maximum of 13 points. Four teams already have 14 or more points. DC, with 13 from 11 games, sit just outside that group.
