IPL 2026, DC vs MI Today Match: Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of Mumbai Indians’ Indian Premier League 2026 match against Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, April 4, 2026, due to illness. Speaking at the toss, Suryakumar confirmed that Pandya is not well to take the field, without providing further details on the nature of the illness.
"Hardik Pandya is not well, so, it's better to give him a break today, so that he is back fresh and fine later on. This of course is a different wicket from what we had at the Wankhede, and the conditions are different too. We don't mind batting first in a day game, actually, we would have batted first only," SKY said.

Mumbai Indians made three changes to their playing XI from the side that registered a historic win over Kolkata Knight Riders. Deepak Chahar, Corbin Bosch and Mitchell Santner were brought into the side, replacing Pandya, Trent Boult and Allah Ghazanfar.
