Mitchell Starc is available for Delhi Capitals before Friday's Rajasthan Royals clash. That gives Munaf Patel another frontline option as he backed the bowlers ahead of the IPL meeting with Rajasthan Royals.

Patel, Delhi Capitals' bowling coach, said Starc is available before Friday's match. For a side shaping its attack around the next contest, that removes one selection doubt and keeps a major pace option in play.

The timing matters because the clash is with Rajasthan Royals, and Delhi Capitals go into it with their bowling unit under immediate scrutiny. Patel backed the bowlers as he addressed the build-up, while Starc's status now sits at the center of the attack conversation.

For Delhi, the practical takeaway is simple: Starc can be used if the team wants him. That leaves the decision with the matchday setup, and it keeps the left-arm quick available for a Friday assignment that already shapes the direction of Delhi's bowling plans.
