Indian Premier League 2024: Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians in New Delhi on April 27, 2024.
Bolstered by Rishabh Pant's brilliant batting form and inspiring leadership, the resurrected Delhi Capitals will aim to continue their upward march in the IPL points table when they take on an inconsistent Mumbai Indians in New Delhi on April 27.
The Capitals have endured a rollercoaster season so far, showing flashes of brilliance while also succumbing to embarrassing defeats.
But three wins in the last four matches have helped them climb to the sixth spot and a win against MI will strengthen their claim to a play off spot.

DC's biggest positive has undoubtedly been skipper Rishabh Pant's form, which appears to be improving with each game.
