Delhi Capitals will look to reignite their playoff hopes and snap a two-game home losing streak when they take on a struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad in a do-or-die IPL 2025 fixture on Monday. Currently fifth on the table with 12 points from 10 matches, Axar Patel’s men have leaned heavily on away victories this season, but must now deliver at home to stay in the top-four hunt.
Axar, who battled through a bruised left hand to score a gritty 43 against KKR, remains under an injury cloud. His availability as a bowler could prove crucial, especially against an SRH outfit teetering on the edge of elimination after a 38-run defeat to the Gujarat Titans.
Delhi’s batting, spearheaded by KL Rahul and Abhishek Porel, has shown promise but often faltered in high-pressure moments. On the bowling front, the pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Mukesh Kumar have been standouts, while Axar’s all-round contributions offer much-needed balance.
