Even though Delhi Capitals are already out of the playoff race, Mitchell Starc could still become the biggest obstacle standing between KKR and qualification.
The left-arm quick showed his class again against Rajasthan Royals, dismantling their batting line-up with a brilliant four-wicket spell. When Starc gets movement with the new ball, he can destroy games within a few overs.
That threat becomes even bigger because KKR are likely to attack aggressively from the start due to net run rate pressure.
Players like Ajinkya Rahane, Cameron Green and Rinku Singh may have to take risks early, which could play directly into Starc’s hands.
KKR’s playoff hopes remain alive, but stopping Starc quickly may become their biggest challenge of the night.
