Before the season, DC traded New Zealand pacer Trent Boult to MI and brought in experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.  

While the Mumbai franchise managed to establish their supremacy in the league stage, DC had to gallop through a few hurdles to book a place in their first-ever IPL final.

This will also be Rohit Sharma's 200th IPL game and he also needs just 8 runs to complete 4000 runs for MI.

Mumbai Indians have steamrolled Capitals in their previous three meetings during the season, winning the first leg by five wickets, return leg by nine wickets and the first qualifier by 57 runs.

On the eve of their IPL final against Delhi Capitals, Rohit said Hardik, who has not bowled through the 13th edition of the lucrative event, made it clear he is still not up to the mark when it comes to fitness.

Kohli has been granted paternity leave after the first Test and Pathan said it is bound to have a huge impact on the team, which won a historic series under his captaincy two seasons ago.

Ishant Sharma, however, continues to recover while BCCI's medical team will take a call on Wriddhiman Saha's availability later.

Trent Boult was off the field due to a groin injury but the Mumbai skipper asserted that he is looking good and would play the final on the November 10.

Mumbai Indians produced a dominating display to beat Delhi Capitals by 57 runs and reach a sixth IPL final.

Finds himself in the company of Harbhajan Singh and Parthiv Patel with the most nought score in IPL history after R Ashwin trapped him lbw for a golden duck.

Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer has opted to bowl first after winning the toss against Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1; Rohit brings back his best XI for the match.

 With MI emerging victorious in their last two games against DC, they have a 14-12 lead in the head-to-head contest.

Rohit, who sustained a left hamstring injury during an IPL game against Kings XI Punjab, was back in the park against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday, a week after being excluded from the Australia-bound squad on fitness grounds.

Meanwhile Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has gained three spots to reach 49th position even as captain Babar Azam has bridged the gap a little with the Indian pair.

After missing four games, the MI captain returned to the playing XI on Tuesday but his side suffered a 10-wicket defeat against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH).

After amassing a 149-run total on the scoreboard, the MI bowling unit failed to scalp wickets and put pressure during SRH's run-chase.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had told the media that Rohit's injury is currently being monitored and he'll be slotted for the Australia tour if he gets fit.

MI captain Rohit Sharma says it was a day they don’t want to remember and wants to come out fresh against Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 1.

Rohit missed the last four games for Mumbai Indians owing to a hamstring pull, a seriousness of which was revealed after BCCI opted to drop him from all the three squads for the tour of Australia which begins from November 27. 

The Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper, currently in the UAE with his IPL franchise, has missed the last four fixtures due to hamstring injury.
