Are Delhi Capitals Missing Starc? Munaf Patel Weighs In

Delhi Capitals have kicked off IPL 2026 like a house on fire, winning their first two matches with style. But hold up, they’re doing it without their secret weapon, Mitchell Starc. While the scoreboard looks rosy, bowling coach Munaf Patel has hinted that the real test will come when they face tougher opposition.

Starc, known for his lethal pace and ability to rattle batsmen, is a big miss, and his absence might not be felt until the stakes get higher. Patel's comments suggest that while the early wins are great, the true impact of Starc’s absence will show when pressure mounts. Will DC be able to keep their momentum without him when the going gets tough?

As the tournament heats up, fans are left wondering if the Capitals can maintain their winning streak or if they’ll start to feel the pinch without Starc’s magic on the field.
