Mumbai Indians' five titles to Delhi Capitals' none will matter little when the heavyweights, equipped with multiple match-winners, lock horns in a clash of titans in a new IPL here on Sunday.
Mumbai have retained their core in skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Kieron Pollard and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, and the role of these four would be crucial against DC at the Cricket Club of India (CCI), as well against other teams through the season.
While the leadership skills and tactical acumen of Rohit, who is now the India captain in all formats, are well documented, how Rishabh Pant performs as skipper will be watched with interest, keeping in mind the need to identify future leaders for the country.
5-time Indian Premier League champions Mumbai Indians will kickstart their 2022 campaign against Rishabh Pant led Delhi Capitals in the first match of the doubleheader on March 27th at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
Although both teams have tried to retain their core, they also had to let go of some of their important players in the 2022 IPL mega auctions. While Mumbai will miss the services of Quinton de Kock, Trent Boult, Delhi's team will not feature Shikhar Dhawan, Avesh Khan, and Kagiso Rabada in this year's campaign.
Mumbai Indians who could not qualify for the playoffs last season will look to begin the season with a bang in a bid to secure their 6th title. A major blow for Mumbai Indians is the absence of Suryakumar Yadav who will miss the first match due to his thumb injury. MI also bought Jofra Archer, but the ace bowler will not play this season.
