In what might be a turning point for his IPL 2024 campaign, Australian speedster Mitchell Starc finally announced his arrival by claiming his first wicket of the season in a match against Delhi Capitals at Vizag.
This moment of breakthrough came after a challenging start to the tournament, where Starc struggled across his initial two matches, conceding a substantial number of runs without any success.
The much-awaited wicket arrived in a fashion that reminded everyone of Starc’s prowess. Facing Mitchell Marsh, Starc delivered a full and enticing ball wide of off-stump.
It was a delivery that beckoned the batsman to go for an expansive drive. Marsh, unable to resist the bait, went hard at the ball, only to edge it towards Ramandeep Singh stationed at backward point.
The catch was taken with ease, marking a significant moment for Starc – his first scalp in the IPL 2024.This dismissal not only highlighted Starc’s skill in setting up a batsman but also underlined his persistence and resilience.
After 59 deliveries without success, some might have doubted his impact in this season.
