Former West Indies cricketer Ian Bishop commended Mitchell Starc for boosting Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack in their recent win against Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Starc, returning from injuries, impressed with figures of 3/40 in his four overs, playing a crucial role in restricting Rajasthan Royals to 225/6. Despite initial doubts, Bishop was pleased with Starc’s performance and intensity on the field.
Starc faced a challenging start, conceding runs early, but he quickly recovered and made significant breakthroughs during the death overs. His crucial wickets of Ravindra Jadeja and Riyan Parag helped Delhi Capitals secure victory. Bishop highlighted the importance of Starc’s partnership with Lungi Ngidi in Delhi’s bowling lineup for future matches, emphasizing the balance they bring to the team.
Delhi Capitals achieved their highest-ever run chase in IPL history, led by impressive performances from KL Rahul, Pathum Nissanka, and Nitish Rana. Starc’s return played a pivotal role in ending Delhi’s losing streak and contributing to their strong comeback in the tournament.
