Rohit's Fierce Form Boosts MI, But Bowlers Must Step Up Against Delhi's Batting

• Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals clash in IPL 2026 after opening wins, setting up a high-stakes encounter at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
• Rohit Sharma's fluent 78 led MI to a commanding win over KKR, marking their first season opener victory since 2012, showcasing his renewed fitness and form.
• Coach Mahela Jayawardene praised Rohit's dedication to fitness and skill work during the off-season, highlighting his impressive rhythm and hand-eye coordination.
• MI's bowling attack, despite Shardul Thakur's performance, lacked overall bite; debutant Allah Ghazanfar conceded 51 runs, though Jayawardene backed him as a 'player for the future'.
• Delhi Capitals' top order remains fragile, as seen in their collapse against LSG, but Sameer Rizvi's unbeaten half-century and Tristan Stubbs' partnership secured their win; their bowling unit, however, looked assured.
