Despite the absence of Mitchell Starc due to a shoulder and elbow injury, Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack has continued to perform well. The team has secured two consecutive wins, with the bowlers playing a crucial role in both victories. The bowling coach, Munaf Patel, acknowledges that Starc’s absence is significant and believes that the team’s future success will depend on his return.
Munaf emphasized Starc’s experience and skill as a top-quality bowler in the IPL. He highlighted Starc’s ability to swing the new ball at high speeds and compared him to Jasprit Bumrah in terms of talent. Munaf expressed his concern about not having any updates on Starc’s return timeline and admitted that the team is eagerly awaiting his comeback.
In Starc’s absence, South Africa’s Lungi Ngidi has stepped up with his effective off-cutters. Munaf praised Ngidi’s understanding of different pitch conditions and his ability to bowl within his strengths, rather than solely focusing on pace.
As the team continues to perform well without Starc, Munaf remains hopeful for his return and the impact he can make on the team’s performance. Despite the current success, the team recognizes the importance of having a bowler of Starc’s caliber in their lineup. The upcoming matches will test the team’s depth and resilience as they look to maintain their winning streak.
