Badani Lauds Starc as Role Model After 4-40 Keeps Delhi Playoff Hopes Alive

Delhi must beat Kolkata Knight Riders on May 24 to keep their playoff bid alive.

Overview

  • Mitchell Starc took 4 for 40 to set up a five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.
  • The result lifted Delhi Capitals to 12 points in seventh place with one league match left against Kolkata Knight Riders.
  • Head coach Hemang Badani called Starc a model professional and praised his work ethic and meticulous preparation.
  • Badani said Starc has been tutoring young bowlers on reverse swing, holding their lengths, and plans for when batters attack.
  • He added that Starc joined late after shoulder and elbow issues and has played only five matches, and he cited Cricket Australia’s release decisions as a limit on availability.
