Injury Scare for Delhi Capitals: KL Rahul Exits Practice Ahead of Crucial MI Clash

Delhi Capitals could get a major blow ahead of their clash against Mumbai Indians as KL Rahul suffered an injury during DC’s practice session. The injury forced him to leave the camp midway.

Delhi Capitals keeper-batter KL Rahul sustained a knee injury in the nets ahead of their do-or-die match on Wednesday. DC is scheduled to face Mumbai Indians for their must-win game on May 21 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Rahul Injured in the Nets

During a recent net session, KL Rahul reportedly sustained a blow while facing pacer Mukesh Kumar. Rahul suffered a knee injury after getting hit and had to leave the practice in the middle. The incident forced Rahul to leave the ground immediately, raising questions about his fitness before DC’s crucial match against Mumbai Indians.

If Rahul misses the next game against Mumbai Indians, it will be a major setback for Delhi Capitals. The right-hander has been the highest run-getter for the Delhi-based franchise in IPL 2025.

Rahul in IPL 2025

Rahul has led the DC’s batting charge this year with his incredible performance. He has scored 438 runs in 11 matches at an average of 61.63 and a strike rate of 148.05.

Earlier batting in the middle order, Rahul was finally promoted to open the innings in DC’s last match against the Gujarat Titans. He grabbed the opportunity and scored an unbeaten century. However, his efforts were in a losing cause as DC faced a 10-wicket loss.

Qualification Chances

MI is currently placed fourth in the points table with 14 points from 12 matches. If MI wins both of their remaining matches, they will secure a spot in the top four.

Delhi Capitals are placed fifth with 13 points from 12 games. They need to win both their remaining games to qualify.
