Mumbai Indians' pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has sent an early warning to the Delhi Capitals ahead of what looms as a virtual quarter-final of IPL 2025 on May 21, Wednesday at the Wankhede Stadium. In a video surfaced on social media, the right-arm speedster bowled a pinpoint yorker to uproot a stump comprehensively during a practice session.
Despite missing the first few matches of IPL 2025, the Ahmedabad-born cricketer has taken 13 wickets in eight matches at 16.46 alongside an impressive economy rate of 6.88. With Mumbai Indians' qualification hopes on the line, Bumrah is likely to be more dangerous and the Capitals need to be vigilant.

Mumbai Indians beat Delhi Capitals earlier in the tournament but lost their previous match at the Wankhede Stadium
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Indians had beaten the Delhi Capitals narrowly the last time the two sides faced off this year. Nevertheless, the five-time champions had lost the rain-marred contest against the Gujarat Titans by three wickets as it went to the final delivery. However, the Mumbai-based franchise are primed to qualify for the playoffs and likely to seal it should they win on Wednesday.
As for the Capitals, they are still reeling from the ten-wicket loss to the Titans, who chased down 200 without breaking a sweat. Delhi began their campaign with four wins but their performances have massively tapered off in the second part of the tournament. With Mumbai having a promising run and known to raise their performance in the latter half, the visitors will require their A game.
