Following their comfortable win, MI moved to 16 points and ensured Delhi Capitals will not leapfrog them even if they lose their last league stage game against Punjab Kings. DC remain on 13 points after their 13th match in the IPL.
They, too, will finish their IPL league stage campaign against PBKS. However, nothing will ride on that match anymore.

While the top four teams are decided a week before the league stage draws to a close on May 27, the battle for top-two places remains alive. The teams that finish in the top-two get two opportunities to qualify for the final.
Gujarat Titans, atop the IPL points table are on 18 points, and can reach 22 points if they win their remaining two matches. Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings are both on 17 points each and can muster 21 points if they win their remaining two matches. The race for the top-two places will, thus, go much deeper.

"Before A Match, I Would Automatically...": Pragyan Ojha Shares Cricketing Superstition
Former Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha shared his long-standing superstition. He mentioned that he always called his family before a match, but a missed call due to poor network in Sri Lanka led to him becoming Muttiah Muralitharan's 800th wicket. Ojha last played an international game in 2013, which was also the retirement match for Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar at the Wankhede Stadium. In the game, he managed to take ten wickets and was awarded the Player of the Match. Speaking on 'Cheeky Singles', Pragyan Ojha said, "Whenever I used to get in the team bus before a match, I would automatically call my mom, then my dad. Even if both of them were sitting together, I'd call them separately. Then I'd call my uncle, who was a cricketer and the one who inspired me to take up the game. Even if I had called my uncle 10 minutes before the match, he would have picked up. But in Sri Lanka, at that time, there was no network, and the call didn't go through. Because of that, I became Muttiah Muralitharan's 800th wicket." The 33-year-old Ojha had made his international debut in 2008 against Bangladesh in Karachi. A year later, he went on to make his Test debut against Sri Lanka . The spinner went on to play 24 Tests, 18 ODIs and six T20Is for India and finished with a total of 144 wickets in the international game. In the longest format of the game, he managed to take 113 wickets, with the best bowling figures of 6-47. He was last seen in action in 2018 as he played a first-class match in Dehradun. He also made a name for himself in the Indian Premier League as he played for the Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians. He was a key member of the Deccan Chargers IPL-winning team in 2009. He last played a match in the premier tournament in 2015 for the Mumbai Indians.

Jaiswal Told To 'Focus On Red-Ball Cricket', Unlikely To Be Picked For Asia Cup: Report
Last Updated: Jaiswal has 723 runs to his name in 23 T20Is for India. He last played a T20I match for India against Sri Lanka in Pallekele on July 30, 2024. Young left-handed opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal will not be part of India's Asia Cup 2025 squad. According to a report in the Times of India on Thursday (August 14), which quoted a BCCI source as saying, the 23-year-old left-handed batter from Mumbai has been told to focus on red-ball cricket. Jaiswal has scored a total of 723 runs in 23 T20Is for India. He made a case for selection in India's Asia Cup 2025 squad by scoring 559 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2025 for Rajasthan Royals. 'With India looking to persist with the opening pair of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, Gill is currently struggling to even make it to the side. Even Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had a great series in England, and middle-order bat Shreys Iyer are likely not to be picked for the T20 side. Jaiswal has been told by the selectors to focus on red-ball cricket," a BCCI source told TOI. The 2025 edition of the Asia Cup will be played in T20I format from September 9 to 28 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The Indian men's team will open their campaign on September 10 against the UAE in Dubai and then take on Pakistan in their second Group A match on September 14. India's third Group A match is scheduled against Oman in Abu Dhabi. According to the BCCI source, India's team for the Asia Cup 2025 will be picked on August 19, and after the selection meeting in Mumbai, India's chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, will attend a press conference. 'Yes, the team for the Asia Cup will be picked on Aug 19 in Mumbai. The selection committee meeting will be followed by a press conference by chief selector, former India pacer Ajit Agarkar," a source in the BCCI said. It has also been reported that India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, will fly from Bengaluru to Mumbai for the selection meeting. The news of Surya attending the selection committee is a clear indication that the 35-year-old right-handed batter from Mumbai will captain the Men in Blue in the eight-team tournament. India last played a T20I match in 2025 on February 2 against England at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and secured a win by 150 runs. In that match, world No. 1 T20I batter Abhishek Sharma scored 135 runs from just 54 balls. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
