Actually I also have the same question everyday. Till now there is no update on when he will come because the update will come from the Australian board, his physio, or trainer,\u201d said Munaf in the pre-match press conference on Tuesday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>&#8220;We have won two games so it has not been felt,&#8221; Munaf said on a lighter note.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>&#8220;If we don&#8217;t do well, it depends. He is one of the best in the world. There is no bigger bowler in the IPL than Starc. Jasprit Bumrah is the only one I can think of. He has so much experience, he swings at 140kmph plus with the new ball. I follow up with the team every day. Cricket Australia will update us. We need him as our main bowler,&#8221; said Munaf.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Munaf said he is enjoying working with bowlers like Lungi Ngidi, T Natarajan and Aquib Nabi.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>When asked about fast bowlers who bowl above 150 kmph and get injured often, Munaf gave a light reply.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>&#8220;The guys who bowl at 150 are not playing. If they don&#8217;t play they will stay injured. We have come from a system that the more you bowl the more rhythm you have. When you are injured and not in rhythm, you will automatically get injured,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/top-stories\/i-also-have-same-question-dc-coach-has-no-update-on-mitchell-starcs-arrival-makes-big-admission\/articleshow\/130090149.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi Capitals have won their first two matches without Mitchell Starc, but bowling coach Munaf Patel said the team wants him to join the squad soon, calling him one of&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-103062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/mmn-50.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sochtimes.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
