The IPL 2025 witnessed an exciting match on Wednesday. Delhi Capitals defeated Rajasthan Royals in the superover. After the victory, captain Akshar Patel gave credit to Mitchell Starc and said that this experienced Australian fast bowler had planned to throw the yorker and carried out it very well. Chasing the target of 189 runs in Delhi, Royals team Nitish Rana (51 runs, 28 balls, six fours, two sixes) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 runs, 37 balls, four sixes, three fours) could score 188 runs for four wickets despite the half -century, which led to the match to the super over.
‘Stark carried out the plan well’
Akshar said after the match, ‘Finally when Stark had two overs left, I was confident that even if there is a combination of right-handed batsmen, Stark can dodge them at their own pace. He was putting yorker balls well, but he also has a fast and slow bouncer. The same thing was going on that they should do yorker only. He also said that we will go with fielding and I will bowl accordingly and try to put yorker and wide yorker. He carried out this plan well.
‘Bowlers are benefiting from applying saliva on the ball’
Akshar said that the bowlers are benefiting from the approval of the use of saliva on the ball in the current session. He said, ‘Now in IPL, we can use saliva on the ball. The kind of wickets, there is not much grass and using saliva you can try reverse swing, I think it is appropriate for the bowlers. The wickets are suited to batting. I think 180-190 runs are being scored and fun is also coming. Now cricket has become competitive> It is not that there is nothing for the bowlers. I think the use of saliva is helping in reverse swing, but it is most important to do so during pressure.
