Why Axar Patel Is Not Playing Today’s IPL 2025 Match?
Axar Patel is missing today’s IPL match due to illness, so Faf du Plessis is leading Delhi Capitals against Mumbai Indians.

The 63rd match of IPL 2025 is underway at Wankhede Stadium between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.
This game is very important because the winner will move closer to the play-offs, while the losing team will face a big disadvantage.
Only one spot remains in the play-offs since Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans, and Punjab Kings have already secured their places.
Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl first. However, the team is being led by Faf du Plessis today. The usual captain, Axar Patel, has been unwell for the past two days and is therefore not included in the playing XI.
This match is like a virtual knockout for both teams. Winning will boost their chances to qualify, making every moment on the field very tense and exciting for fans.
