3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 4, 2026 11:29 PM IST Delhi Capitals (DC) returned to winning ways after three successive losses when they aced a big chase against Rajasthan Royals in their previous game, and the inclusion of a genuine legend of the game may have something to do with it. Mitchell Starc played for the first time this season in Jaipur, and his three wickets – one in the first over and two towards the end of the innings – kept the total to something which DC could chase down. Bowling coach Munaf Patel was relieved to have Starc at his disposal, especially after his team failed to defend 264 against the Punjab Kings. “It’s vital to have a wicket-taker inside the Powerplay, as that’s key to prevent a team from getting a really big score. Early wickets change the scenario completely,” the former India seamer said on the eve of the game against Chennai Super Kings. Not only does Starc get wickets himself, but he also helps those around him get better. “Bowling …

3 min readMay 2, 2026 01:03 PM IST With his spell of 3 for 40 runs for Delhi Capitals against hosts Rajasthan Royals in their seven-wicket win on Friday night, Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc marked his return to competitive cricket after a gap of more than three months. Starc last played international cricket in January, when he played in the fifth and final Ashes Test at Sydney, and was sidelined due to elbow and shoulder injuries. Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop termed Starc’s return to cricket as an ‘impressive’ one and shared how he brought back the firepower for Delhi Capitals in this IPL. “Very impressed. I had my question in my own mind about what sort of form he would come into this after the protected break that he had. And he brought some firepower for them, which was pleasing. His last over, I think, went for a few runs otherwise the figures would have been a lot better. I am happy with that from Delhi’s point of view,” Ian Bishop said on …

When asked about whether Starc will expect the same treatment which Sooryavanshi gave to the likes of Bumrah, Bishop replied that Starc won’t be Bumrah. “No, I think you have to give Mitchell Starc credit. He’ll come better prepared; he won’t be Jasprit Bumrah,” Bishop said on ESPNCricinfo. Delhi Capitals are currently sitting at seventh spot in …

3 min readApr 24, 2026 11:26 AM IST One of the talking points in Mumbai’s Indians’ 103-run defeat against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday evening at the Wankhede Stadium was the home side’s use of Shardul Thakur as a “concussion substitute” after Mitchell Santner injured himself. The New Zealand captain injured himself in the 17th over of the first innings when he dived to catch CSK’s Kartik Sharma in the deep off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling. While Santner managed to hang on to the catch, the Mumbai Indians spinner injured himself in the process. Replays show that he hit the left side of his head on the ground after the same time his shoulder hit the ground hard. But in the game, the head touching the ground was not as visible as his shoulder smashing into the ground.
