Dream11 fantasy picks for the DC vs MI clash
1. KL Rahul
KL Rahul started IPL 2026 with a golden duck, and he is too good of a player to miss out on consecutive games. But it is Mumbai Indians, probably the favourite opposition for him. Rahul has 976 runs against MI in just 20 innings with three centuries and six half-centuries.

The DC captain Axar Patel is the multi-dimensional cricketer who adds value in all three aspects. He can earn points in all three departments. He was pretty good with the ball but got out cheaply with the bat.

4. Ryan Rickelton
The MI keeper batter Ryan Rickelton carried his international form in the IPL 2026. He started the IPL 2026 with a match-winning 81 off 43 balls.
