After losing to Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday, Mumbai Indians (MI) have been fined for maintaining a slow over rate during Match 2 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Wicketkeeper-batter Tim Seifert provided an explosive start for Delhi Capitals (DC) in their chase of 178 against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday, but his march was brought to a halt by new MI spinner Murugan Ashwin in the fourth over with a lovely googly. Seifert had hit 21 off 11 deliveries with four boundaries to his name within the first three overs, and MI captain Rohit Sharma brought on a spinner inside the Powerplay.

Speaking via the franchise's social media handle, Kohli selected two players and also labeled one of them as a "breakthrough season potential".
Delhi Capitals beat Mumbai Indians by four wickets in their IPL match on Sunday. Lalit Yadav smashed 48 not out off 38 balls down the order as DC chased down the target of 178 with 10 balls to spare. Axar Patel also chipped in with a 17-ball 38 not out, while opener Prithvi Shaw contributed 38. For MI, Basil Thampi took three wickets for 35 runs.

Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan showed immense maturity as he anchored Mumbai Indians innings to a fighting 177 for 5 with an unbeaten 81 against Delhi Capitals in their IPL match here on Sunday. The 23-year-old opener, who became the most expensive buy of the IPL 2022 auction when MI bought him back for Rs 15.25 crore, proved his worth as he smashed 11 fours and two sixes in his 48-ball unbeaten knock. After playing a second-fiddle to his skipper Rohit Sharma (41) inside the PowerPlay, Kishan came into his own to smash his third fifty in a row for MI, and 10th overall.
Delhi Capitals (DC) face Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 2 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, on Sunday. Also being touted as a Rishabh Pant vs Rohit Sharma affair, both sides will be aiming for a winning start to their respective campaigns. MI will have plenty to prove, considering their failure to reach the playoffs last season. DC also did the double over the five-time champions last season but in Sunday's game, Delhi will be without some overseas stars. David Warner and Mitchell Marsh are currently playing for Australia in international cricket. Meanwhile, Anrich Nortje is still in recovery from injury, Lungi Ngidi and Mustafizur Rahman are in quarantine. Pant will only have two overseas cricketers to rely on, Tim Seifert and Rovman Powell.

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar weighed in on the topic, saying that he "did not understand" the timing of Dhoni's decision, coming just before the start of the new season.
