This article highlights the IPL performance and stats of Mitchell Starc against Rajasthan Royals (RR) ahead of the RR vs DC match in IPL 2025.
Mitchell Starc, one of the most lethal left-arm pacers in world cricket, has consistently delivered impactful spells in the Indian Premier League. Known for his express pace, pinpoint yorkers, and aggressive intent, Starc has been a go-to bowler in high-pressure moments. After his match-winning performance for KKR in the IPL 2024 final, he was roped in by Delhi Capitals for INR 11.75 Crore ahead of the TATA IPL 2025, further solidifying their pace attack.
In IPL 2025, Starc has picked up 9 wickets in 5 matches, including a brilliant 5/35 – his best bowling performance this season. Though he’s been slightly expensive with an economy rate of 10.30, his wicket-taking ability and strike rate of 11.78 have kept him crucial to Delhi’s bowling strategy.
When it comes to facing Rajasthan Royals, Starc has played 7 matches against them and has taken 15 wickets at an average of 26.00 and an economy rate of 8.21. His best bowling performance against RR is 3/22, and he has regularly troubled their top-order with the new ball.
Starc’s record vs RR batters shows his effectiveness:
- Sanju Samson has faced Starc twice but hasn’t scored much – Starc dismissed him once and kept his strike rate low.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal, one of RR’s most explosive openers, was also dismissed by Starc in IPL 2025, conceding only 9 runs in 5 balls.
