Mumbai, March 24: Mumbai Indians will launch their IPL 2022 campaign on Sunday (March 27) with a match against strong foes Delhi Capitals at the fabled Brabourne Stadium.
MI under Rohit Sharma had missed the play-off berth in the IPL 2021, and they would want to make a strong statement in the first match itself.
But that will not be easy as their opponent Delhi Capitals, led by Rishabh Pant, have been an extremely cohesive and confident unit and would pose strong challenge to all comers in the IPL 2022.
MI will be eyeing their 6th title and the Delhi Capitals will be hoping to land their maiden title after being a part of IPL 2020 final and the knockouts in the IPL 2021.
They will be eager to take that one missing step in the IPL 2022. However, they will have to make to do with the absence of a couple of key players at least in the initial week.

4 Team News
Delhi Capitals: The Delhi outfit under Rishabh Pant will miss the presence of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh as the duo is in Pakistan with the Australian national team. While Warner will travel to India after the on-going third Test, which is scheduled for a Friday (March 25) ending. Marsh will travel to India after April 10 following the conclusion of ODI and T20I series. However, Warner will miss the first IPL 2022 match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma will have the full availability of players under him and that comes as a relief for MI who are looking to be in the top four after missing the play-offs in IPL 2021. However, the fitness of Suryakumar Yadav will be keenly monitored.
