Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel’s hilarious banter ahead of DC vs MI clash in IPL 2025 today; watch
In the lead-up to one of the most anticipated clashes of the IPL season, Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Hardik Pandya and Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel set social media abuzz with a light-hearted and hilarious exchange.
With Hardik captaining the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Axar Patel leading the Delhi Capitals (DC), the rivalry has added an extra spark to the upcoming match.
Fun Banter During Practice
The fun began when Hardik playfully asked Axar if the pitch at the venue was flat. Axar, with a smirk, replied that he wasn’t sure since he had “just started playing.” Not one to miss a chance at trolling, Hardik fired back saying Axar should already know – after all, it’s his home ground. In reply, Axar cheekily reminded Hardik that he had played there just a day before and should be better informed himself.

Their witty exchange quickly went viral, with fans and fellow players sharing laughs and reacting to the playful banter.
Social Media Reaction:
“Love you Pandya I pray for your comeback but DC se haar jao bass last baar,” shared a user.
Likewise, another user shared, “This is too much fun.”
“Hardik Axar Ke Peeche, aur Axar Hardik ke peeche, this is too much fun,” shared another user.
Home Ground Banter Going Viral:
The homeground tease became the latest trend among players, following KL Rahul’s stylish “shush” celebration after scoring against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chinnaswamy Stadium — a gesture that hinted at silencing the home crowd.
With friendship, rivalry, and humour all rolled into one, Hardik and Axar Patel have perfectly set the stage for a blockbuster game. As fans gear up for the on-field showdown, the off-field banter has already declared the first winner — entertainment.
