Delhi Capitals (DC) is all set to face the Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, tomorrow. Ahead of the match, Delhi Capitals bowling coach Munaf Patel was asked about the current status of their ace pacer.
In the press conference, Munaf confirmed that without the service of Mitchell Starc, they have managed to win a couple of matches early in the IPL 2026 season, but the scenario can change in the upcoming days. Then, they could miss the presence of the Australian pacer.
Will the Aussie pacer play against the Gujarat Titans? In response, Munaf said that they are yet to receive confirmation from Cricket Australia (CA).
“Till now there is no update Australian board physio, trainer, or doctor will update,” said Munaf," the bowling coach of Delhi Capitals.
"Right now we have won two matches so we are not feeling Starc’s absence. But in the coming matches, if they don’t perform then it depends on them," Munaf Patel said in the pre-match press conference.

The former Team India pacer bowler acknowledged that Mitchell Starc is one of the best pacers across the nations right now. For Patel, only Jasprit Bumrah can be compared with Starc.
"He is one of the best bowlers in the world. Right now, everyone is like yeah we aren't missing him because we are winning. But he is our top bowler. And I think there isn't anyone better than Starc in the IPL. Bumrah is the one you can compare with. You can see how much experience, how fast he bowls, swings with a new ball at 140 plus," he added.
