Mitchell Starc Starts Strong in IPL 2025: First Over for Delhi Capitals in Crucial DC vs KKR Match

The IPL 2025 clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has kicked off, and all eyes are on Mitchell Starc, who is leading the charge for DC with the ball. In a high-pressure match that could shape DC’s playoff hopes, Starc has been handed the responsibility to bowl the first over, setting the tone for the team’s bowling attack.


Starc’s Opening Over: Key to Setting the Pace

As Delhi Capitals aim to contain KKR’s aggressive batting line-up, Mitchell Starc’s opening over is critical. Known for his pace, accuracy, and deadly yorkers, Starc’s job is to break the momentum early and send a strong message to the KKR batsmen.


What to Expect from Starc in the First Over

Given the Arun Jaitley Stadium’s pitch conditions, which are expected to be slower and low, Starc will be looking to bowl a tight line and focus on hitting the deck hard. His ability to vary his pace and deliver consistently in the death overs will be crucial for DC, but the opening over will set the stage for a potential breakthrough.

Starc’s previous IPL performances have shown that he thrives under pressure, and a solid start today could provide him with the momentum he needs to build on his performance throughout the game.


The Pressure of the Moment

With the KKR top order consisting of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ajinkya Rahane, and Venkatesh Iyer, Starc’s early breakthrough could be a game-changer for DC. It’s a battle of experience against youth, and a successful opening over from Starc will help put pressure on KKR’s in-form batters, especially the explosive Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, who are yet to come.


What This Means for DC’s Bowling Attack

A successful first over from Mitchell Starc will provide the Delhi Capitals with the momentum they need to maintain control throughout the innings. If Starc manages to contain runs and build pressure, it will allow the other DC bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav and Chameera to step in and capitalise on the pressure.
