New Delhi, April 4: The eighth match of IPL 2026 is underway at Arun Jaitley Stadium, featuring a clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI). DC captain Axar Patel won the toss and chose to bowl first. Due to illness, Hardik Pandya is replaced by Suryakumar Yadav, who is leading the Mumbai Indians in this match.
After winning the toss, Axar Patel stated, “We will bowl first. This is our first home match of the season, and we want to see how the game unfolds. Last season, we managed to chase down a target after losing four wickets for just 26 runs. We are fielding the same playing eleven as last time.”
Suryakumar Yadav commented, “Hardik is unwell, so I am captaining in his place. The pitch looks good, and we wanted to bat first. There are several changes in the team. Deepak Chahar has come in, replacing fast bowler Trent Boult, and Mitchell Santner is in for Allah Gajanfar.”
This match marks the second game of the season for both teams. Delhi Capitals secured a victory against Lucknow Super Giants on April 1, winning by six wickets.
