Some post-match rituals that nicely exposed the cheeky Axar Patel when asked about his feelings after losing to the Mumbai Indians. Axar led Delhi Capitals suffered their first defeat in the 2025 IPL, as they lost to Mumbai by 12 runs. Following that, Murali Kartik, the English commentator, said that the frustration was clear on Axar's face, to which Axar Patel gave a cheeky smile. And then when Kartik asked him, "Kaha gaya apka match aap ke hisab se?" [According to you, where did the match slip away from you?] Axar wittily replied, "Mumbai ke pas." [To Mumbai] Even though Kartik sounded annoyed, the fans loved it, praising Axar's sense of humor.

The penalty came after DC suffered their first defeat of the season, losing by 12 runs to the five-time champions. As per Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, a captain is fined ₹12 lakh for the team’s first slow over rate offence. Although repeat offences no longer lead to suspensions, monetary fines and in-game restrictions continue to be enforced to ensure smoother match proceedings. Axar joins other captains penalised this season, including Rajat Patidar of RCB and Riyan Parag of RR. In the match, Mumbai Indians set a formidable total of 205/5, with Tilak Varma’s 59 off 33 balls leading the charge. Delhi fought back with Karun Nair’s 89 from 40 balls, but a series of run-outs in the 19th over ended their chase at 193. Despite the loss, DC remains second on the points table with four wins in five games. MI, on the other hand, climbed to seventh and will next face Sunrisers Hyderabad.
