The preparations for IPL 2026 are in full swing as all ten franchises are asked to submit their retention list by November 15. The mini-auction is all set to take place in December from 13 to 15. So far, the reports suggest that the Delhi Capitals are looking to release Mitchell Starc, which could potentially be the biggest news ahead of the coming auction.
The reason is not revealed, but if the reports are to be believed, it can be because of commitment issues, as Mitchell Starc refused to return for the second phase of IPL 2026 because of a war-like situation between India and Pakistan.
Starc had a great season, and if he had returned, then the chances for DC to proceed to the next round would have increased by a big margin. The Australian seamer took 14 wickets in 11 matches, which includes a five-wicket haul.
1. Sunrisers Hyderabad SRH lack a genuine seam bowler, and bringing in Mitchell Starc can be great for the team. Besides skipper Pat Cummins, the Men in Orange have Mohammed Shami, Jaydev Unadkat, and Ehsaan Malinga in the seam department.
Shami has not been the same since his heel injury, while Jaydev has not performed the duties of the premier seamer. However, SRH lack a bowler who can be their go-to-man for the first over and bowl the pressure final over in the death, which suits Mitchell Starc.
Let's compare Starc's season with rest of SRH bowlers.

2. Kolkata Knight Riders For KKR, they had Mitchell Starc in IPL 2024, which marked his return to IPL 2024. Starc didn't have a great season, but turned things around for them in the knockout stage and eventually helped KKR end their trophy drought.
However, the three-time winners let Starc go for IPL 2025 and eventually paid the price as they lacked genuine seamers. Talking about KKR, they have Harshit Rana, Vaibhav Arora, Anrich Nortje, and Spencer Johnson.
However, both Nortje and Johnson are dealing with injury concerns, and the management might look to bring in Starc to fix their fast-bowling woes.
Let's compare Starc's season with rest of KKR bowlers.

3. Lucknow Super Giants One team that is in dire need of a genuine seamer is the Lucknow Super Giants . The Rishabh Pant-led side sweat hard on their seamers as Akash Deep, Mayank Yadav and the rest of the bowlers struggled with fitness.
Bringing in Starc will help Lucknow Super Giants replace the likes of Shamar Joseph and others.
