Slower ball bouncer, batter will never see it coming
One small change has made a huge difference. With the use of saliva, the ball is reversing and Starc is twice the bowler.

Mitchell Starc undoubtedly is the greatest bowler of this generation pic.twitter.com/LY2NgOfUPN
Great skill under pressure from Starc to defend 9 in the final over and take the game to the super over. Jurel should have gone for the second run on the penultimate ball though. #DCvRR #IPL2025

This super over wouldn't have been possible without Theekshana dropping Ashutosh on the last ball of Delhi's innings. Hail his fielding skills 🙌 #DCvRR

Proper bottle job from RR lol... A potential 3 when Hetmyer hit over covers.. And later a double in the penultimate ball, Jurel saying no... Proper blunder & stupid batting by these two

If Rajasthan loses which I think they will Dhruv Jurel is to be blamed. He should have run 2 when it went to Stubbs. That was a real chance.

It was RR’s game after the power play. It was RR’s game when 9 required to win in the last over with one set batter n other one a powerful hitter.

What a game. High class last over from Starc.
