Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Mumbai Indians in match 29 of IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday. DC, the table toppers, are the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far and are now playing their first game of the competition in New Delhi.

After winning the toss, DC skipper Axar Patel, while receiving a roaring applause from the home crowd, said Faf du Plessis is injured and that the side will decide on their choice of the impact player during the game. Du Plessis, DC's vice-captain, had previously missed the game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after being deemed unfit for taking part in that game.

“We're chasing well, and it's the first match over here this season so don't know how the pitch will play. Don't trust numbers from the past too much. Challenge is to follow the plan properly and to be brave even if you get hit for a six,” he said.
