Why is Hardik Pandya not playing MI's IPL 2026 clash vs DC?

Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya is absent from the IPL 2026 clash against the Delhi Capitals due to illness. Stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav said, "He's not well, doesn't look good, so he was not fit for today's game." MI also made three changes: Deepak Chahar, Corbin Bosch, and Mitchell Santner, while aiming to continue their strong start.
