Delhi players have also made some unwanted records in their name. Mitchell Starc, playing for Delhi Capitals, gave 30 runs in the third over of RCB’s innings. Of these, five runs were extra. That means Starke had given 25 runs. This was not the first incident in IPL in which Starc gave away runs in an over. Earlier in 2024, when Starc was playing for Kolkata Knight Riders, he also gave 25 runs in an over. Meanwhile, Delhi captain Akshar Patel gave 52 runs in his four-over spell but did not take any wicket. This is the most expensive bowling spell of Akshar in IPL. In this matter he had equaled his record of 2017. In 2017, against Kolkata, Akshar gave 52 runs in four overs and took no wicket.
