IPL 2025: Gave Starc A Third Straight Over As He Was In Good Rhythm, Says Axar
After Mitchell Starc: After Mitchell Starc’s incredible 5-35 set the base for Delhi Capitals securing a seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, skipper Axar Patel felt the move to give the left-arm pacer a third straight over in power-play worked well, citing that he was in good rhythm.
The match also marked the first time Starc, who varied his pace really well, pick a five-wicket haul in T20 cricket. Three of his wickets came in the power-play to push SRH on backfoot. Giving Starc an extra over in power-play resulted in him taking out the dangerous Travis Head, leaving SRH in tatters at 37/4.
The remaining two scalps of Starc came in the back end of the innings, as SRH were bowled out for 163 in 18.4 overs. “Plan was to give Starc two overs at the start and two overs at the end, but he was in good rhythm. Hence, I gave him the third over and he was able to pick an important wicket,” said Axar after the match ended.
