Mitchell Starc made history for the Delhi Capitals during their IPL 2025 match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by becoming the first pacer from the team to take a five-wicket haul. The Australian bowler showcased his talent by finishing with impressive figures of 5 for 35, helping his team dismiss the Sunrisers for 163 runs in the penultimate over of the first innings. This achievement surpassed the previous best bowling figures by a Delhi Capitals bowler, which was held by Amit Mishra for his 5 for 17 against the Deccan Chargers in 2008.
Starc’s five-wicket haul in this match also marked his first in the IPL, surpassing his previous best figures of 4/15 that he achieved during the 2015 season. The left-arm pacer displayed exceptional skill and control to dismantle the Sunrisers’ batting lineup and lead his team to a dominant position in the game.
The list of best bowling spells by Delhi Capitals bowlers now includes Starc’s remarkable performance against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025. Amit Mishra’s 5/17 against the Deccan Chargers in 2008 still holds a special place on the list, followed by other notable performances by Delhi Capitals bowlers in different IPL seasons.
Starc’s five-wicket haul not only contributed significantly to Delhi Capitals’ victory in this match but also solidified his reputation as a formidable pacer in the IPL. His ability to consistently deliver match-winning performances will undoubtedly make him a key player to watch out for in future games.
