Mumbai, March 26: Delhi Capitals (DC) face record title-holders Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 2 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday (March 27).
While Delhi-led by Rishabh Pant will look to start their quest for their first IPL title with a win, Rohit Sharma's Mumbai side will look to get the season rolling after a poor outing in 2021 as they aim to lift the title for the sixth time.
DC finished last season on top of the table, but fell in the play-off hurdle losing to eventual finalists Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in the qualifiers.
Ahead of the new season, DC released most of their stars, but retained skipper Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje and made some good additions at the mega auction to improve their chances of winning their first-ever title.
MI, on the other hand, failed to even reach the play-off stages in 2021, finishing fifth. And ahead of the new season, the five-time champions released many players that were crucial to their dominance over the seasons.
However, MI retained skipper Rohit, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard, Jasprit Bumrah and broke the bank to buy back Ishan Kishan among many other smart additions including Jofra Archer despite his unavailability for the 2022 season.
In fact, both teams will be without some of their key players for their season opener on Sunday (March 27). While MI could be without Suryakumar, DC will be without David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman and Nortje.
