Mitchell Starc – The Ice in Delhi’s Veins

In a match that had everything—thrill, drama, and a Super Over—it was Mitchell Starc who stood tall when it mattered the most.

With Rajasthan Royals needing just 9 runs off the final over and two set batters at the crease, the odds were heavily tilted against Delhi Capitals. But cometh the hour, cometh the man. Starc, known for his nerves of steel and toe-crushing yorkers, was handed the ball for one final throw of the dice. What followed was a masterclass in death bowling—five pinpoint yorkers, each one better than the last.

He conceded just 8 runs and pushed the game into the first Super Over of IPL 2025. Even though he gave away 11 runs in the Super Over, the damage had been done—Delhi were alive, and momentum was with them. Eventually, KL Rahul and Stubbs chased down the target with two balls to spare, sealing a famous win for the Capitals. But make no mistake—this win belonged to Mitchell Starc.

Time and again, Starc has shown why franchises are willing to shell out millions for his services. It’s not just about the wickets or economy rate—it’s about delivering when it counts the most. From World Cup knockouts to IPL finals, Starc lives for the big moments. He doesn’t just bowl overs—he changes games.There’s a reason he’s still considered the best fast bowler in the world. His ability to produce magic deliveries under intense pressure is unmatched. And today’s performance was a perfect reminder of his greatness.

While many questioned his price tag in this year’s auction, Starc answered the critics the best way he knows how—with thunderbolts and ice-cold composure.As the dust settles on tonight’s thriller, one line echoes in every cricket fan’s head:
“Cometh the hour, cometh Starc.”

That’s why you pay him the big bucks. And that’s why he’s still the gold standard of fast bowling in world cricket.
