Australian pace spearhead Mitchell Starc is maintaining his lethal form in the ongoing Ashes series, a positive sign for IPL franchise Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the next season. Despite the absence of Pat Cummins, who was rested, Starc has ensured that Australia's bowling attack remains formidable.
Starc's continued dominance in high-stakes Test cricket demonstrates his ability to perform under pressure and deliver crucial breakthroughs. His current run of form suggests he will be a key asset for DC when he returns to the T20 format, particularly given his reputation for striking early and maintaining control throughout the innings.
As the IPL approaches, the franchise will be encouraged by their star bowler's ability to consistently deliver high-quality performances against top international opposition.

“Australia’s attack remains lethal even without Nathan Lyon, as Mitchell Starc continues his dominant form.”
