As the Indian Premier League is soon heading to its business end of the season, the next few weeks will be hectic for the teams. Two teams who are in need of a string of good results are none other than Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians.

The two teams have struggled at various points of the season and find themselves needing to win all their matches. Delhi Capitals won a close encounter against Gujarat Titans in their last match despite posting 224 runs on the board. Rishabh Pant regaled the crowd with his brutal hitting as he showed his amazing form with the bat.

Mumbai Indians on the other hand lost to Rajasthan Royals in what was a one-sided encounter. Hardik Pandya will rue all the bad misses in the field that cost their team the chance to compete in the last match. While the batting has always been a strong point for the five-time IPL winners, the bowling this year has been a massive letdown. 

Here are the top three player battles for Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians match 43 of IPL 2024

The battle between the best T20 batter and one of the best IPL 2024 bowlers will be a treat to watch., Mumbai Indians will hope that Suryakumar Yadav can get back to consistent run-scoring form with the bat after his failure against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. The last time Suryakumar Yadav faced Delhi Capitals he was out for a second ball duck.

Kuldeep Yadav meanwhile, has been the bowler to watch out for the Delhi Capitals side. The left-arm wrist spinner has bowled with intelligence and varied pace and exhibited good skills with the ball. This player battle between Kuldeep and Suryakumar Yadav could potentially define the outcome between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians.

2. Rohit Sharma vs Khaleel Ahmed

Trent Boult has twice dismissed Rohit Sharma this season to re-enforce the belief that the former MI skipper struggles early against left-arm pacer. Rohit Sharma has crossed 300 runs this season and also hit a century and his form in the next 6 matches will be crucial for the chances and qualification hopes of Mumbai Indians.

IPL 2024 will be remembered as the season where Khaleel Ahmed announced his resurgence with the ball. The 26-year-old has been the most trusted bowler for Rishabh Pant and has repaid the faith of his skipper by taking early wickets with the ball.

1. Jake Fraser-McGurk vs Jasprit Bumrah

Cricket fans will be eagerly waiting for this player during the Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians game. Jake Fraser-McGurk has announced his arrival and has already put fear in the minds of the bowlers with his brutal hitting. The young batter has the rare talent of hitting the ball into the stands with precision and ease.

Jasprit Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker this season of IPL 2024 with 13 wickets. His economy rate too has been the best and this makes the 30-year-old Indian pacer a huge threat. Considering that Jasprit Bumrah is a very smart bowler he will relish this challenge of bowling to the young Aussie upstart on a good wicket in New Delhi.
