With Mumbai under a yellow alert and heavy rainfall predicted on match day, Delhi Capitals (DC) co-owner Parth Jindal has formally requested the IPL to shift Wednesday night’s crucial clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) to another city. The Wankhede showdown is effectively a knockout for a playoff spot, but looming weather threats could turn it into a no-result. Jindal made his request via email to the IPL on Tuesday, urging the league to maintain consistency. According to ESPNcricinfo, he referenced the May 23 fixture between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which was recently moved from Bengaluru to Lucknow due to similar weather concerns. "The forecast in Mumbai is for heavy rains and there is a strong likelihood that the game will be washed out.Just as the game between RCB vs SRH has been moved out of Bengaluru in the quest for consistency and in the interest of the league, it is my request that tomorrow's game also be moved to a different location as we have known for the better part of 6 days that the forecast for 21st in Mumbai is for heavy showers." A washout would hand both teams one point each, pushing MI to 15 could be enough to seal playoff qualification. DC, meanwhile, would go up to 14, still needing to beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their final league match. MI also face PBKS in their last game, but the rain buffer gives them a much smoother path.

KKR had earlier protested after rain ended their playoff hopes Jindal’s plea comes just days after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) CEO Venky Mysore also reached out to the IPL regarding rain-related decisions. Mysore wrote to the league after KKR were eliminated due to a washed-out game against RCB on May 17, just before the tournament introduced a new 120-minute extension rule for rain-affected matches. “KKR is aggrieved,” Mysore stated, adding that the rule change came too late to keep them in contention. As the playoff race tightens and weather threatens key fixtures, pressure is mounting on the IPL to ensure fairness. As of Wednesday morning, however, no update has been issued regarding a change in venue for MI vs DC.
