Delhi Capitals (DC) are taking on Mumbai Indians (MI) in match 63 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) season at the Wankhede Stadium. While everyone expected Axar Patel to walk with rival skipper Hardik Pandya at the toss, it was not to be. To everyone's amusement, Faf du Plessis walked when the toss happened.
Ravi Shastri, who was present at the toss asked du Plessis about Axar's absence. The Protean replied that the southpaw is badly down with a viral fever, and that's why he wont be playing this match.
