When Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals, two contrasting IPL stories collide. Mumbai bring best finals win-rate (5/6), Bumrah at the death, deepest squad in IPL. Delhi counter with young Indian core, Pant as a match-winner, strong overseas pace. Across 35 matches stretching back to 2008, this rivalry has produced finals, last-ball thrillers, and statement performances on both sides.

This is the complete MI vs DC all-time stats comparison — head-to-head record, trophy count, top run-scorers, top wicket-takers, biggest wins, and a clear verdict on who has the better overall IPL record heading into IPL 2026.
