Delhi Capitals (DC) ke Mitchell Starc ne IPL 2025 mein ek sensational spell deliver kiya, jisse unka naam franchise ki history mein likh diya gaya. Starc ne Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) ke khilaf 5/35 ki zabardast figures ke saath pehli baar kisi pacer ke roop mein five-wicket haul banaya, aur SRH ko sirf 163 runs par all out kar diya!
Starc Ka Powerplay Mein Dhamaka
SRH ne pehle batting karne ka faisla kiya, lekin unka shuruaat kaafi kharab raha, jiska sabab bana Starc ka relentless pace aur accuracy. Starc ne Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, aur apne purane dushman Travis Head ko powerplay mein hi out karke SRH ko 37/4 par la diya. Pehle over mein hi Abhishek Sharma ka run-out aur phir Starc ka fiery spell ne top order ko dhwast kar diya.
Travis Head Ka “Bunny” Ban Gaya Starc
Travis Head ke liye Starc ek psychological edge bana hua hai, aur is match mein bhi yeh dekhne ko mila. Head ne pehle over mein do boundaries maar kar confident shuruaat ki, lekin Starc ne unhe fifth over mein bounce karke out kar diya. Is dismissal ke saath, Head ab tak Starc ke haath chhute hain, kyunki unhone pichle aath matches mein se chhe baar unhe out kiya hai!
Aniket Verma Ki Heroics Aur Starc Ka Late Strike
Jab SRH ka top order collapse ho gaya, tab Aniket Verma ne 74 runs ki sensational innings khel kar innings ko sambhala. Lekin unka effort ek stunning catch se khatam ho gaya, jab Jake Fraser-McGurk ne Kuldeep Yadav ki bowling par unhe catch kiya.
Starc ne death overs mein wapas aakar apna five-wicket haul complete kiya, aur unka final wicket Wiaan Mulder ka tha, jo ek shot miscue karte hue Faf du Plessis ke haath mein chala gaya. Is wicket ke saath, Starc ne IPL history mein sirf dusre DC bowler banne ka record banaya, jinhone five-wicket haul liya, pehle Amit Mishra ke 5/17 ke baad.
Starc Ka Historic Spell
Is performance ke saath, Starc ne na sirf DC ke liye five-wicket haul banaya, balki apne IPL career ki best figures bhi register ki. Unka pehle ka best 4/15 tha, jo unhone 2015 season mein kiya tha.

Ab DC ke paas chase karne ke liye 163 runs hain, aur unki batting lineup, jisme Faf du Plessis aur Jake Fraser-McGurk shamil hain, ko crucial win ke liye tayyar rehna hoga. Lekin SRH ka strong bowling attack is chase ko tricky bana sakta hai. Kya DC is challenge ko paar kar payegi? Yeh dekhna hoga!
