On April 13, Mumbai Indians finally showed signs of their old magic. Even though they’ve had a rough start in IPL 2025, they bounced back in style with a thrilling win against Delhi Capitals. This victory was special because it was Delhi’s first loss of the season, and it happened right at their home ground – the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The match had plenty of action, with both teams putting on a great show. Karun Nair played a brilliant knock, scoring 89 runs off just 40 balls, but it wasn’t enough. Delhi couldn’t chase down the big total of 206 runs set by Mumbai Indians.
