Mumbai Indians (MI) didn’t have a great start to IPL 2025, as they had lost four of the first five matches and were on the brink of losing their sixth in the next one. However, they made a miraculous comeback against the Delhi Capitals (DC) and have not looked back.
From languishing at the bottom at one stage, MI have climbed to the top of the table and are shaping up as one of the best teams. They are on a six-match winning streak and in no mood to stop anytime soon.
MI had many crucial moments during this run, but one moment that changed fortunes came against DC. On the fourth delivery of the 12th over, Mitchell Santner bowled an unplayable ball to Karun Nair that went past his defence and crashed the stumps.
