Capitals de Delhi in action for IPL 2025© BCCI
Delhi’s rapid capital launcher, Mukesh Kumar, was sentenced to a fine of 10% of his match fees and gave a demerit point for violating the IPL code of driving during the match against the Mumbai Indians on Wednesday. Mukesh has been punished for level 1 offense under article 2.2 of the code, which concerns the abuse of cricket equipment or ground lights. “Mukesh Kumar admitted the level 1 offensive under article 2.2 (abuse of equipment or cricket clothing, floor or lighting equipment and fittings in a match) and accepted the sanction of the referee of the match,” the IPL said in a statement. “For level 1 violations of the Code of Driving, the decision of the match referee is final and restrictive.”
Coming to the match, the Doughty 73 of Suryakumar Yadav did not prove to be the difference because the Mumbai Indians sealed the fourth and last place of the dam with a tronding of 59 Delhi Capitals.
The Masterclass of Suryakumar – a blow of 43 bullets with seven four and a half -dozen in an unfavorable situation – paved the way for a dominant victory. The five champions did not make the playoffs last year.
Delhi Capitals, who entered this competition with their fair share of opportunity to reach the Final Four, saw the tables lit on them when Mi Bathers collected 48 points on the last two Overs.
But the visitors were also guilty of a gentle response in a Do-ou-Die competition which made their first order order in the power game breath, leaving the rest of the competition a simple formality.
Chasing 181, Delhi Capitals, who was without regular Axar Patel skipper in this match, rolled for 121 in 18.2 Overs, Sameer Rizvi (39) being the top scorer.
Mitchell Santner was the choice of the quisors of the Indians of Mumbai, returning 4-0-11-3 and counting Rizvi, Vipraj Nigam (20) and Ashutosh Sharma (18). Jasprit Bumrah experienced another successful outing on his return to 3.2-0-12-3.
