In the final over of KKR’s innings against Delhi Capitals, Mitchell Starc struck again with his second wicket in two balls. He bowled full on the pads to Anukul Roy, who tried flicking it toward deep square leg.
The shot was timed well, but Dushmantha Chameera sprinted and dived to his left to take a stunning catch while airborne. The effort dismissed Roy for a golden duck and put Starc on a hat-trick.

In the match, Kolkata Knight Riders posted 204/9 after a dramatic collapse in the final over against Delhi Capitals. Rahmanullah Gurbaz (26 off 12) and Sunil Narine (27 off 16) gave KKR a flying start with 48 runs in 3 overs. After their quick dismissals, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Rinku Singh steadied the innings. Andre Russell added late fireworks with 17 off 9.
However, KKR lost three wickets in the last four balls, slipping from 203/6 to 204/9. Abishek Porel ran out Russell, and Mitchell Starc claimed two wickets to complete a team hat-trick. Despite a strong platform, KKR would feel they were 15-20 runs short after being sent in to bat by Axar Patel.
