IPL 2025: 3 milestones that were reached during DC's commanding 7-wicket victory over SRH in Match 10 ft. Mitchell Starc

The Delhi Capitals (DC) continued their winning run in IPL 2025 after beating the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by seven wickets on Sunday, March 30, in Visakhapatnam. With the win, they have now jumped to second place in the table with four points from two games.

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, SRH had a difficult start and were reduced to 37/4 in just 4.1 overs, with Mitchell Starc accounting for three wickets. While it looked gloomy for the visiting side, Aniket Verma's enterprising 74 helped them post 163 runs. Starc finished with a fifer, while Kuldeep Yadav returned with three wickets.

In reply, it was easy sailing for the Capitals. Faf du Plessis gave the team a wonderful start with a 27-ball 50. Jake Fraser-McGurk, who struggled initially with his timing, scored 38 off 32 balls before giving debutant Zeeshan Ansari an easy return catch. Abishek Porel (34* off 18) and Tristan Stubbs (21* off 14) took the team over the line with four overs and seven wickets to spare.

Although it was a one-sided contest, a few milestones were broken during today's match. On that note, let's look at three milestones that were broken during the match.

#1 Mitchell Starc becomes first DC pacer to pick up a fifer

The Australian speedster has been in excellent form with the ball in this year's league. He picked up three wickets in DC's opening game against the Lucknow Super Giants and followed it up with a five-wicket haul against the SunRisers.

Mitchell Starc steamrolled the Hyderabad top order with three wickets in the powerplay, dismissing Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, and Travis Head. The left-arm pacer returned at the death to dismiss Wiaan Mulder and Harshal Patel to complete his five-wicket haul.

With that, Starc became the first Delhi Capitals pacer to pick up a five-wicket haul for the franchise in the history of the IPL.
