IPL 2026: ‘Starc’s Brought Some Firepower With Him,’ Says Ian Bishop On DC Quick’s Comeback

By IANS News May 02, 2026 • 15:24 PM View: 267

Former West Indies: Former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop lauded Mitchell Starc’s impact on his return to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, saying the Australian quick added much-needed ‘firepower’ to the Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack in their win over Rajasthan Royals.

Starc, who joined the squad after recovering from shoulder and elbow injuries that kept him out for a long time, made an immediate impression with figures of 3/40 in his four overs. His spell proved crucial in restricting Rajasthan Royals to 225/6, a total that Delhi eventually chased down with seven wickets in hand.

Bishop admitted he had initial doubts about how the left-arm quick would fare after a lengthy layoff, but was impressed by the intensity he brought to the field.
