DC vs MI: Weather and Pitch Report

Delhi anticipates warm weather on April 27, 2025, with temperatures forecasted from 28 to 33°C and humidity levels expected to be 40-50%. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with dew likely in the second half of the match, which will help the second team batting. The pitch is likely to support batting, as the base wicket should recover much wider, which will provide consistent bounce and carry. Fast bowlers such as Mitchell Starc (DC) and Josh Hazlewood (RCB) should benefit from early seam movement, while spinners such as Kuldeep Yadav and Suyash Sharma may find turn in the middle overs.

DC vs MI: Match Preview

As the Delhi Capitals go into a massive contest against a tenacious RCB, Delhi is riding high, winning six of their last seven matches. Delhi has also recently beaten RCB by six wickets in the recent face-off, driven by KL Rahul, who scored an unbeaten 93 (avg 54.67, SR 153.99). Additionally, DC has Jake Fraser-McGurk (205 SR in the powerplay), Tristan Stubbs, and an improvement with Axar Patel's captaincy. Importantly, DC has ended their stiff competition with Kuldip Yadav (14 wickets, 6.00 econ.) with Mitchell Starc (9 wickets) combining for a dangerous attack, but add prodigy Vipraj Nigam, who should be on film soon.

RCB will put up a fight, however, with the advantage of being on the road (10.5 RPO), prompting the use of big hitters front and back. K.L. Rahul (392 runs, 144.11 SR) is likely to set the tone from the start of the innings (162 SR during the first 10 balls) while adding some explosive hitters (Phil Salt, Tim David, and Captain Rajat Patidar) around him. The death should also be exciting with Jitesh Sharma and Dinesh Karthik. On the bowling side, Josh Hazlewood (8 wickets, 53 dots) commands a solid pace but should receive some support with the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and some much-needed stabilization from Yash Dayal. Overall, a match made in heaven!

Indian cricketer KL Rahul and Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty had tied the knot on January 23, 2023, in a private wedding ceremony held at Athiya’s father, Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala. Recently, the couple was blessed with a baby girl, and now the duo has finally revealed her name with the world, sharing the news via social media.

The couple, who got married in January 2023, have always kept their personal life relatively private, making this moment all the more special for their well-wishers. Celebrities from both the cricketing and film world, including Suniel Shetty and Virat Kohli, also expressed their love and blessings for the new parents and their baby girl. As baby Aarvi begins her journey in the spotlight, it’s clear that she’s already captured the hearts of millions.

On the occasion of his 33rd birthday on April 18, the cricketer posted a heartwarming picture of the family on social media. In the photo, he is seen lovingly holding Evaarah in his arms while Athiya alongside him, as both are seen gazing at their daughter with warmth and affection.

Meanwhile, Rahul has been in stellar form in the IPL 2025 season. After leading Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in previous editions, the right-handed batter was picked up by Delhi Capitals (DC) during the IPL mega auction. The wicketkeeper has already made a significant impact this season, scoring 238 runs in five matches at an impressive average of 59.50.

The Bengaluru-born cricketer’s standout performances include a blazing 77 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and a commanding 93* against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), a memorable knock in his hometown, which helped DC clinch a crucial win. His performances have made him a top contender for the Orange Cap this season, despite making a late entry into the competition.

Delhi Capitals have emerged as strong playoff contenders, currently sitting at the top of the points table with five wins in six matches.

Rajasthan Royal's key player, Riyan Parag faced a rare and awkward moment during the 32 match of IPL 2025 match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Just as he was about to take strike, the umpire stopped him for a routine bat check. The bat didn’t pass the size test, and Parag was told to switch it out.

He had come in to bat for the injured Sanju Samson, but things didn’t go smoothly. There was a brief exchange between Parag and the umpire, and it was clear he wasn’t happy about the situation. Still, he had no choice but to change his bat before continuing. A video of the incident has since gone viral, showing the exact moment the bat was checked and Parag’s reaction when he found out it wasn’t allowed.

The umpires are doing their job and #RiyanParag’s bat is under scrutiny! 🧐

Unfortunately for Parag, the new bat didn’t help much, he scored just 8 runs from 11 balls before getting out. This isn’t the first time this has happened in IPL 2025. Earlier, KKR’s Sunil Narine and Anrich Nortje also had to change their bats after failing similar checks.

What are the guidelines for the size of a cricket bat?

As per the rules, bats must stick to certain size limits: the width can’t be more than 10.79 cm, the middle (blade) can't be thicker than 6.7 cm, edges can’t go beyond 4 cm, and the total length must be undcer 96.4 cm.

So why are umpires checking bats more this season? It’s part of a BCCI rule meant to make the game fair. With big-hitting becoming such a big part of T20 cricket, officials want to make sure no one is using oversized bats to gain an edge. Unlike past seasons, umpires are now allowed to check bats during matches not just in the dressing room. With the rules being taken more seriously this year, players and teams are being reminded that there's no room for shortcuts when it comes to equipment.

Now, KL Rahul is creating something that is called a statement. Narrowly missed his maiden IPL 2025 century by 7 runs but gifted his team, Delhi Capitals, a crucial victory with his unbeaten 93 knock vs. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). This year's IPL is packed with full of notable moments and innings; multiple players who had struggled in the recent past are showing class in the league. The star India wicket keeper batter is one of them. The experienced wicketkeeper-batter, undoubtedly very talented, is often criticized for his inconsistency. It is true that he failed to justify his talent on multiple occasions with his national team, dropped from the team, and then again regained his spot. Rahul's career graph is filled with lots of ups and downs.

Last season, KL was the keeper of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), marking one of the unpleasant chapters of his career. For IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals roped in Rahul for a handsome amount of INR 14 crore. As per some media reports, he turned the leadership role to focus only on batting performance. It seems that his decision hit the sweet spot of the target. After missing out on DC's first IPL 2025 match, the father of a newborn baby girl played the following three matches with an all-new mentality, which left the opposing teams suffering. 

The India right-hand batter has played 3 matches in the IPL 2025 season so far, scoring a total of 185 runs. Rahul has remained not out once, with his highest score being an unbeaten 93. He averages an impressive 92.50 with a blistering strike rate of 169.72. The 32-year-old batter has recorded two half-centuries and has hit 15 fours and 10 sixes during this period.

Last three IPL 2025 innings of KL Rahul 

DC vs RCB- 93*

DC vs CSK- 77 

DC vs SRH- 15

Before the beginning of IPL 2025, the keeper-batter was making a notable number of runs for team India; only by a few runs did he leave out multiple fifties on the ground. 

KL Rahul's batting performance for India in the last 5 matches:

India vs New Zealand 34*

India vs Australia 42*

India vs New Zealand 23

India vs Bangladesh 41*

In the IPL 2025 match being played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Delhi Capitals defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets and achieved their fourth consecutive win this season and Royal Challengers Bangalore team had to face their second defeat of this season. This is Bangalore's second consecutive defeat at home.

RCB made a great start at their home ground in Bengaluru and there was a partnership of 61 runs between Phil Salt and Virat Kohli in 3.4 overs. Then Salt got run out and went to the pavilion, after which RCB's innings derailed. Salt went out after playing an innings of 37 runs with four fours and three sixes in 17 balls. After this, RCB's run rate slowed down and their team could not recover till the end.

Devdutt Padikkal (1), Virat Kohli (22), Rajat Patidar (25), Liam Livingstone (4), Jitesh Sharma (3) and Krunal Pandya (18) could not do anything special. Due to which the RCB team could score only 163 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. While Vipraaj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav took the maximum two wickets each for Delhi. In the end, Tim David played an unbeaten innings of 37 runs for RCB, hitting two fours and four sixes in 20 balls.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Are Kings of Powerplay Sixes Since IPL 2024

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have been smashing records with their explosive starts. Since IPL 2024, no team has hit more sixes in the powerplay than them an incredible 66 sixes in just the first six overs. Their fearless approach at the top has put bowlers under serious pressure right from the word go.

ALSO READ: Aniket Verma's 'hobby' caused headache for Delhi Capitals

SRH’s Game Plan: Attack, Attack, Attack

SRH’s openers walk out with only one strong mindset and hit boundaries from ball one. Whether it’s their overseas players or young Indian talented players, they don’t hold back. With fielding restrictions in place, they take full advantage of the powerplay's gaps and look to clear the boundaries early. As IPL 2025 rolls on, the big question is can SRH keep this up the same, or will another team catch them? One thing’s clear: in today’s T20 cricket, going hard in the powerplay is the way to win the matches.

 Most sixes hit by teams in the powerplay (overs 1-6) since IPL 2024:

Delhi Capitals won against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 10th match of IPL 2025. SRH Batting first, SRH scored 163, and Aniket Verma scored 74 off 41 balls. Mitchell Starc is a star bowler for DC, taking 5 wickets for 35 runs. DC chased the target in 16 overs, thanks to mass knocks from Faf du Plessis and Abhishek Porel.
