The Delhi Capitals (DC) paid Rs 11.75 crore for Australian left-arm bowler Mitchell Starc at the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction 2025, which took place in Jeddah on Sunday, November 24.
Starc was purchased by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for an unprecedented Rs 24.75 crore at the 2024 IPL auction, setting a new record at the moment.In 2014, Starc made his IPL debut for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), playing 14 games and claiming 14 wickets with an economy rate of 7.49 and an average of 28.71.
In the 2015 season, Starc took 4/15 against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) for RCB, which was one of his finest IPL bowling performances. Perhaps Starc’s greatest IPL season was this one. He was the RCB’s most impressive bowler and played a key role in their campaign. Starc participated in 14 games during the 2024 IPL season, claiming 17 wickets at an average of 26.12 and an economy rate of 10.61. Even though Starc is one of the most sought-after bowlers in cricket, injuries and national obligations have curtailed his IPL career.
Being a vital member of Australia, Starc’s availability for the IPL has frequently been impacted by international scheduling, and he has missed many seasons owing to injury. To control his workload, Starc chose not to participate in some IPL auctions.
KKR paid Rs 9.4 crore to recruit Starc in the 2018 IPL auction, but he was forced to miss the competition because of a stress fracture.
Despite being in excellent form, Starc chose to focus on his international career and chose not to participate in the 2022 mega auction.
