Axar Patel, one of India’s most reliable all-rounders in white-ball cricket, has consistently delivered impactful performances in the IPL over the years. Known for his stump-to-stump accuracy, subtle variations, and ability to break partnerships in the middle overs, Axar has also emerged as a dependable lower-order batter. After guiding India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the Champions Trophy 2025, the left-arm spinner took over captaincy duties for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025. Under his leadership, DC has enjoyed a solid run with a winning percentage of 80% so far.
Against Mumbai Indians, Axar has played 22 matches and picked up 14 wickets with a best of 3/21, maintaining an economy rate of 8.11. His ability to contain and dismiss MI’s key batters—especially Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya—has made him a crucial weapon for DC in this fixture. He enters this contest with two wickets in each of his last two appearances against MI.
Let’s take a look at Axar Patel’s detailed record against Mumbai Indians, including his match-by-match breakdown and face-offs with top MI batters.
