Yashasvi Jaiswal Hits First-Ball Six Before Mitchell Starc Dismisses Him in IPL 2026

In IPL 2026, Yashasvi Jaiswal of Rajasthan Royals hit a six off Mitchell Starc's first ball, joining an elite group of players with multiple first-ball sixes in IPL history. Starc, returning after injury delays, quickly responded by dismissing Jaiswal on the third delivery with a catch off his own bowling. Starc's comeback bolstered Delhi Capitals' bowling attack, which had struggled in his absence due to shoulder and elbow injuries.
