Delhi Capitals (DC) will be out at their home ground, Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, on Sunday evening with the sole aim of extending their perfect start to the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. DC are the only team with a 100% record at the moment. They have won all four of their matches so far, and another win will see them rise to the top of the table.
Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, have been a mere shadow of themselves. They have won just once in their first five matches and are already flirting with another mediocre season. The stakes are significantly high for the five-time IPL champions—this is a must-win match for them.

DC vs MI Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks
- KL Rahul: Scored an unbeaten 93 runs in the last match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The LSG wicket-keeper is in terrific form at the moment, having already scored two half-centuries in his last two innings.
- Mitchell Starc: Failed to pick up a wicket in the last match, which was uncharacteristic of him. Starc is one of the best white-ball bowlers in the world and remains a key player in the mix for crucial breakthroughs.
- Rohit Sharma: Don’t count him out of this tournament just yet. Rohit Sharma is too good a player not to make an impact with the bat in IPL 2025. He’s worth a shot in Grand League fantasy teams.
- Hardik Pandya: Contributing with both bat and ball this season. His explosive 42-run knock off just 15 balls brought MI back into the match against RCB. The star all-rounder has also picked up 10 wickets in five matches.
- Axar Patel: Had a tough outing with the ball in the last match, conceding 52 runs in four overs. However, on a slow Delhi pitch, he can be a real game-changer. Additionally, Axar has improved significantly as a batter.
- Jasprit Bumrah: In a match where MI conceded over 220 runs, Bumrah—despite coming back from injury—gave away just 29 runs in four overs. He’s an enigma, a true superstar bowler.
