🔥 Mitchell Starc is back, and how! 🔥
After a mixed IPL 2024, some questioned if Starc was worth ₹11.75 crore this season. But with eight wickets in two games, he has silenced all doubts. His stunning 5/35 against SRH put Delhi Capitals in command. He now holds the Purple Cap and leads DC’s bowling attack.
🏏 Starc’s Masterclass Against SRH
Facing IPL 2025’s strongest batting lineup, Starc delivered a match-winning spell. His fiery powerplay saw him dismiss:
✅ Ishan Kishan – Edged a short and wide ball to deep point.
✅ Nitish Reddy – Fell to a smart change of pace.
✅ Travis Head – Beaten by a sharp short ball outside off.
SRH never recovered from these early blows.
💡 The Ups and Downs of T20 Cricket
Starc’s IPL journey proves how unpredictable T20 cricket can be. Last year, after a record ₹24.75 crore deal, he had a slow start. But in the playoffs, he stepped up. Now, he has 13 wickets in 14.4 overs across four games, with key performances in back-to-back matches against SRH.

🎙️ ‘Life in the Old Dog Yet!’
At 35, Starc knows age is just a number. After his fifer, he shared his thoughts:
🗣️ “I know I’m not young, but hopefully there’s still a little life left in the old dog!”
🗣️ “T20 cricket is unpredictable. Sometimes you just hang on for dear life.”
With IPL becoming tougher for bowlers, Starc’s experience and adaptability make him a key player for DC.
💙 Delhi Capitals Have Their Bowling Leader
Starc’s game awareness, control under pressure, and hunger for success make him DC’s main weapon. As Cricket Army knows, he thrives in high-pressure moments. With his focus on IPL 2025 glory, expect more match-winning spells ahead!
