Mitchell Starc commemorates throughout the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 T20 cricket match in between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, on May
It was a night of momentum swings and callous execution. Rajasthan Royals released mayhem through Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel, however Mitchell Starc knocked the brakes in the nick of time.
An undaunted synergy then assisted Delhi Capitals survive in IPL 2026 with a five-wicket win as the home group ferreted out the 194-run target with 4 balls to spare at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday (May 17, 2026).
Delhi then made the chase appearance comfy for big parts as KL Rahul (56 off 42) and Abishek Porel (51 off 31) laid the best platform with a 105-run opening stand in simply 10.1 overs.
While Porel assaulted from the start with 7 fours and a 6, Rahul paced his innings wisely before being up to Dasun Shanaka.
Sahil Parakh cracked in with a fast 9 before skipper Axar Patel offered the ending up grow with an unbeaten 34 off 18 balls, striking 2 fours and 2 6s.
In spite of Jofra Archer eliminating Tristan Stubbs and Brijesh Sharma eliminating David Miller in the latter phases, Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 18 off simply 5 balls sealed the chase in 19.2 overs.
Asked to bat, all eyes were on the out-of-form Yashasvi Jaiswal. The southpaw started with intent, smacking Starc for 3 crisp borders. His stay ended quickly after, when Lungi Ngidi outfoxed him with a well-disguised slower ball, which he top-edged to Starc at brief 3rd guy.
Jaiswal’s opening partner Sooryavanshi started his vigil with a 6 for the 6th time this season.
After handing Jurel and Sooryavanshi early lifelines, Madhav Tiwari scooped up the latter as the left-hander miscued a slower one with David Miller covering 24 meters to his right to manage a diving catch at long-on.
