IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's DC vs MI match

Delhi Capitals (DC) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in match number 29 of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday, April 13. The DC vs MI match will be the evening game of a double-header. Delhi are currently on top of the points table, with four wins out of four matches. In contrast, MI have made a disastrous start to their IPL 2025 campaign, winning only one of their five matches.

Delhi got the better of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six wickets in their last match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Bowling first, DC were off to a disappointing start as Phil Salt played a blinder. His run out, however, turned things around as Kuldeep Yadav (2-17) and Vipraj Nigam (2-18) made a huge impact. KL Rahul (93* off 53) then starred in the chase.

Mumbai suffered a 12-run defeat against RCB in their previous match at the Wankhede Stadium. Fielding first, MI gave away 221 runs as most of their bowlers struggled. In the chase, they fell short despite valiant efforts from Tilak Varma (56 off 29) and Hardik Pandya (42 off 15).

DC and MI have met 35 times in the IPL, with Mumbai having a 19-16 lead in the head-to-head battle. Several significant milestones could be achieved in the Delhi vs Mumbai clash on Sunday. Here's a lowdown.

#1 Rohit Sharma needs 4 runs to complete 5,500 runs for MI in the IPL

The Hitman just needs four runs to complete 5,500 runs for MI in the IPL. He is already the leading run-getter for the franchise in the IPL. In 212 innings, he has 5,496 runs to his name at a strike rate of 131.07.

Rohit is also three sixes away from completing 250 sixes for MI in T20 cricket (including CLT20 matches). In 225 matches (221 innings), the right-handed batter has smashed 247 sixes and 525 fours.

#2 KL Rahul needs 3 sixes to complete 100 IPL sixes

DC batting star Rahul has been in fantastic form in IPL 2025. In three innings, he has scored 185 runs at a strike rate of 169.72, with two half-centuries. Before his 93* against RCB, he had slammed 77 off 51 against Chennai Super Kings. Rahul needs three sixes to complete 200 sixes in his IPL career. In 135 matches (126 innings), he has hit 197 sixes and 415 fours.

#3 Jasprit Bumrah needs 5 wickets to equal Lasith Malinga's IPL wickets tally

Senior MI bowler Jasprit Bumrah made his comeback to competitive cricket during the high-octane clash against RCB.

#4 Axar Patel needs 6 sixes to complete 150 sixes in T20 cricket
