Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani has hailed Mitchell Starc as a role model after the Australian pacer delivered a crucial performance to keep Delhi’s IPL 2026 playoff hopes alive.

Starc picked up 4 wickets for 40 runs against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, helping Delhi secure a five wicket victory. The win keeps Delhi Capitals in the race for the IPL playoffs, with the team currently sitting seventh on the points table.

Badani praised Starc’s discipline, preparation, and professionalism, saying the veteran fast bowler sets an example for younger players through his work ethic and commitment. He also highlighted Starc’s efforts in mentoring Delhi’s young bowling attack throughout the season.

Despite battling shoulder and elbow injuries earlier this year, Starc has made a strong impact in the tournament. The Australian speedster also spoke about staying mentally balanced in the high scoring IPL season, where flat pitches and short boundaries have heavily favoured batters.

The IPL 2026 playoff race continues to remain intense, with fans across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the UAE closely following every match.
