The bowler's triumph is a blend of strategy, precision and the ability to take wickets at the right time. This was exemplified by Kolkata Knight Riders' Mitchell Starc who faced criticism for his lack of wickets in the last two games, and ultimately regained form by dismissing David Warner.

‌After Kolkata Knight Riders set a formidable target of 273 runs, the Delhi Capitals encountered a shaky start. Despite Prithvi Shaw's impressive debut performance this season in the previous match, he failed to ignite any fireworks and departed early in the second over. The Capitals' woes continued as Mitchell Marsh also fell without making a significant impact with the bat, succumbing in the third over to Mitchell Starc, who opened his account with a wicket this season. Starc's fortune continued as he dismissed his fellow countryman David Warner in the fifth over.

In the fourth over's third delivery, Starc delivered a short-length ball outside off to Warner, who sought to capitalize on it by aiming towards the off side. However, the ball took a thick inside edge, deflecting and dislodging the middle stump. The 30-year-old Australian pacer celebrated excitedly, while the KKR team congratulated him.

The incident quickly made waves on Twitter, with users taking to social media to praise Mitchell Starc's well-deserved comeback.
