MI vs DC live updates: Under fire, Mumbai Indians will eagerly eye to register their first win of the IPL 2024. Key batsman Suryakumar Yadav is fit and has returned to the side. The veteran is expected to feature in the home game against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium.
After the captaincy controversy, Hardik Pandya has been facing boos in all the IPL 2024 matches. So far, under Pandya's captaincy, MI has lost all three matches and is placed at the bottom of the table. The side has collectively failed to make an impact in all the departments. The inclusion of the world's number one T20I batsman Suryakumar Yadav will provide a deep dig into the hosts' batting lineup.
In the previous game against Rajasthan Royals, Pandya-led MI faced 27 runs defeat in their home ground Wankhede Stadium.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals has played four matches so far and has lost three games. They are currently in ninth place with a net run rate of -1.347. The Delhiites will look to bounce back strongly against Mumbai's Paltans, today.
