After a thrilling showdown in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Capitals emerged victorious over Rajasthan Royals, courtesy of Mitchell Starc's exceptional bowling performance. The former South Africa wicketkeeper-batter, Mark Boucher, lauded Starc for his crucial role in the final stages of the match while speaking on Kuhl Fans Match Centre Live on JioHotstar.

With Rajasthan Royals requiring nine runs in the last over, Starc's disciplined bowling restricted them to just eight, pushing the game into a super over. During the super over, Rajasthan posted 11 runs, setting a target that Delhi Capitals chased down in just four balls, led by KL Rahul and Trishan Stubbs against Sandeep Sharma's deliveries.
