Mumbai Indians got off to a brisk start against Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2025 encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, but the momentum took a slight hit with the dismissal of skipper Rohit Sharma. After electing to bowl first, DC managed to break the opening partnership at the end of the 5th over.<\/p>\n
Rohit, who looked in fine touch, scored 18 off 12 deliveries, hitting 2 boundaries and a six before falling LBW to leg-spinner Vipraj Nigam while attempting a sweep. A review was taken, but the decision stood. This was Rohit\u2019s highest score of the season so far, signaling positive intent at the top.<\/p>\n
Ryan Rickelton remains unbeaten on 28 off 18 balls, having provided strong support in the 45-run opening stand. Vipraj Nigam, introduced in the 5th over, made an immediate impact with figures of 1-0-2-1.<\/p>\n
At the end of 5 overs, MI stand at 47\/1 with a run rate of 9.40. Despite the loss of Rohit, Mumbai will look to maintain the scoring rate with plenty of firepower still to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
