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.
