Mi: Delhi Capitals Triumph Over at Arun Jaitley Stadium
In the latest clash of the IPL 2026 season, the Delhi Capitals faced off against the Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Suryakumar Yadav, however, steadied the ship, scoring 51 runs off 36 balls with a commendable strike rate of 141.67, including three fours and two sixes. Unfortunately, he was dismissed LBW by Lungi Ngidi, which marked a turning point in the innings.
Despite Yadav’s efforts, MI managed to post a total of 162 runs for 6 wickets in their 20 overs. Rohit Sharma contributed with a score of 35 runs off 26 balls, but the team struggled to build a solid foundation after the early losses.
In response, the Delhi Capitals showcased their batting prowess, successfully chasing down the target of 163 runs.
