MI opener Ryan Rickelton is the second-highest run-getter for their team so far. The left-handed wicket-keeper batter has scored 336 runs from 12 games at an average of 30.54 and a strike-rate of 153.42 with three half-centuries.

He has scored two fifties in his last five matches. When they last played Delhi, Rickelton smashed a 25-ball 41, hitting five boundaries and two sixes at a strike-rate of 164.

They will need the star overseas batter to fire at the top and get them off to a good start with the bat. It will be important for Rickelton to step up in this crucial game.

DC wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul has been in great form with the bat in IPL 2025. He is their leading run-getter with 493 runs from 11 innings at an average of 61.62 and a strike-rate of 148.04 with a century and three fifties to his name.

In their last match against Gujarat Titans (GT), KL Rahul slammed an unbeaten century opening the batting, scoring 112 not out off 65 balls, hitting 14 boundaries and four maximums at a strike-rate of 172.31.

Although his century went in vain, he has continued his solid form. Delhi will want KL Rahul to replicate his performance from the previous game and score runs once again at the top against MI in what is also a must-win game for them to keep their playoffs hopes alive.
