In a remarkable IPL 2026 clash on May 2, the Delhi Capitals triumphed over the Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets, marking their highest-ever chase of 226 runs in the tournament's history. Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop commended Mitchell Starc's return to form, as the left-arm pacer took three wickets in his first match back from injury. Bishop had initially expressed concerns about Starc's rhythm following a lengthy break, but the Australian bowler delivered a fiery performance that kept the opposition under pressure.
