It is already known that the ongoing season of IPL has hit the pinnacle point round with the final leg of the league stage happening. The tournament has reached a point where every single result will decide the playoff spots for the teams in contention.
At this crucial point in time, Delhi Capital side, which was in very comfortable position halfway through the tournament finds itself neck deep in trouble.
The team is set to face a potentially knockout clash against the mighty Mumbai Indians today. This is essentially a do or die game for both teams as the winner will have substantial chances to make it to the play-offs.
If Mumbai wins the game, their qualification is confirmed, and they could potentially go up higher in the table as well. But on the other hand, Delhi needs a win against Mumbai just to stay afloat in the race and a defeat would mean the end of the season.
At this very crucial juncture, Delhi is delivered with a shocker of a news in the form of the injury of KL Rahul. Reportedly, he left the training session halfway and didn’t return to practice later.
The latest reports are suggesting that Rahul might be doubtful for the clash against Mumbai Indians today. If that really is the case, then Delhi could be in big trouble. Rahul doesn’t just have a brilliant record against Mumbai Indians, but he is also a big game player, which is exactly what the team needs now.
If at all Rahul is not able to participate in the game today, then the chances of Delhi winning against Mumbai, which are already bleak will take a big nosedive.
