On the evening of Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Mitchell Starc emerged as a key figure, showcasing his talent in two remarkable instances that led to the Delhi Capitals securing a thrilling victory in the Super Over against the Rajasthan Royals. However, a recent video circulating on social media revealed that Starc was also pivotal in another crucial moment, although the spotlight was on wicketkeeper KL Rahul for his contribution.

This incident occurred on the second ball of the 14th over during Rajasthan's pursuit of 189 runs in New Delhi. Kuldeep Yadav was bowling to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had already reached his half-century. Just before the delivery, Rahul discreetly communicated with captain Axar Patel, prompting a subtle adjustment to Starc’s position at long-on. This strategic move proved to be highly effective.

Kuldeep delivered a well-timed toss to Jaiswal, who failed to achieve the necessary height and ended up hitting the ball directly to Starc. This tactical decision was crucial, as Rajasthan was unable to reach the target within the allotted 20 overs, resulting in a tie that led to the Super Over, where Starc once again demonstrated his exceptional skills to secure victory for his team.

Delhi rise to top spot

A remarkable victory at home has propelled Delhi back to the top of the points table. They have achieved five wins out of six matches so far, accumulating a total of 10 points. After winning four consecutive games at the beginning of the 18th edition of the IPL, they faced a defeat against the Mumbai Indians last week at home. However, they successfully returned to their winning form on Wednesday. In contrast, Rajasthan remains in eighth place on the table, having secured only two victories in seven matches.

Delhi's next match will be against the Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Meanwhile, Rajasthan will host the Lucknow Super Giants at home in Jaipur on the same day.
