New Delhi: All eyes will be on Delhi Capitals' (DC) last Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 league stage match against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Saturday. In the IPL 2022 Points Table, Delhi Capitals is currently in the fifth spot with 7 wins from 13 games. Delhi's fate is in its own hands as a win for them tonight against Mumbai will seal a playoff spot for them. But if Delhi Capitals lose tonight's match, they will be knocked out of the tournament and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will get the fourth place in the IPL 2022 playoffs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Gujarat Titans in their previous match to make it to the top 4 in the IPL points table. However, despite 16 points in their kitty, RCB hasn't yet qualified for playoffs due to a negative run rate. Their last hope is with Mumbai Indians because if Rohit Sharma & Co. beat Delhi tonight, Bangalore will become the fourth and final team to qualify for the IPL 2022 playoffs. So far, Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, and Lucknow Super Giants have made it to the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) official Twitter account hilariously changed their profile picture's colour to blue with a special hashtag 'Red Turns Blue'. The franchise also tweeted a special letter postcard for Mumbai Indians (MI) to wish them luck ahead of their much-awaited clash against Delhi Capitals (DC).
After RCB won match against GT, Kohli declared his support for Mumbai. "Trying to put our feet up and chill out for 2 days and support Mumbai. We have 2 more supporters for Mumbai, not just 2 but I think 25 more supporters. You might see us in the stadium as well," Kohli said in an interview for IPLT20.com.
