Starc Steals the Show as Delhi Capitals Move Past Rajasthan in a Super Over Classic

The IPL 2025 served up another nail-biter on Tuesday night, with Delhi Capitals sneaking past Rajasthan Royals in a Super Over thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The man at the center of it all? Mitchell Starc, who delivered under pressure when it mattered most.

Delhi, batting first, put up a fighting total thanks to some gritty work from the middle order. Rajasthan seemed to have the chase under control at one point, especially with Riyan Parag and Rovman Powell building momentum. But the game took a sharp turn in the final overs.

Starc, who had faced his fair share of criticism earlier in the tournament, flipped the script in spectacular fashion. His tight final over dragged the match into a Super Over, where he returned to defend 12 runs with ice in his veins. A mix of pace, accuracy, and some lethal yorkers left the Rajasthan batters with no answers.

Skipper Rishabh Pant couldn’t hide his admiration after the match: “We always believed in him. Nights like these are why you invest in players like Starc.”

With the win, Delhi move up the table, while Rajasthan are left to reflect on missed chances and nerves that didn’t quite hold. Yet again, the IPL reminded fans why it’s the most unpredictable—and entertaining—league in the world.
