Mitchell Starc One Wicket From Kapil Dev As Bangladesh Test Return Opens Historic Door
Cricket News Update
Australia की तेज गेंदबाजी की कहानी में... एक ऐसा अध्याय खुलने वाला है, जहाँ इतिहास सिर्फ सामने खड़ा नहीं है, बल्कि Mitchell Starc से केवल एक कदम दूर है। Darwin में Bangladesh के खिलाफ August 13 से शुरू होने वाला पहला Test... एक साधारण comeback match नहीं होगा। यह वह मंच होगा, जहाँ 36 साल के Mitchell Starc अपने 105 Test matches और 433 wickets के साथ मैदान पर उतरेंगे... Kapil Dev के 434 wickets से सिर्फ एक wicket पीछे, और Dale Steyn के 439 wickets से केवल छह कदम दूर। लेकिन इस कहानी का सबसे दिलचस्प हिस्सा record नहीं... Starc का reaction है। जब उनसे पूछा गया कि क्या वह इन महान नामों को पीछे छोड़ने के बारे में सोच रहे हैं, तो उनका जवाब शांत था... लगभग उतना ही ठंडा, जितनी उनकी नई गेंद की पहली delivery। Starc ने कहा, इसका मतलब बस इतना है कि उन्होंने काफी cricket खेला है। Kapil Dev और Dale Steyn जैसे महान bowlers के साथ एक ही चर्चा में होना उनके लिए cool और बहुत humbling है... लेकिन जब तक career चल रहा है, numbers का शोर उनके लिए सबसे जरूरी चीज नहीं बनता। वह आगे की पूरी सीढ़ी नहीं देखते... अगली delivery देखते हैं। और शायद यही mindset उन्हें इस मुकाम तक लाया है।
साल 2025 में Mitchell Starc ने Test cricket में ऐसी रफ्तार पकड़ी, जिसने उम्र और workload पर चल रही तमाम चर्चाओं को पीछे छोड़ दिया। 11 Test matches में 55 wickets... उस calendar year में किसी भी bowler से ज्यादा। West Indies में प्रभावशाली performance, फिर home Ashes में Australia की चार-एक की जीत... और उस series में 31 wickets, 19.94 की average के साथ। Josh Hazlewood और captain Pat Cummins की अनुपस्थिति ने Australia के attack पर दबाव बढ़ाया था, लेकिन Starc ने उस दबाव को बोझ की तरह नहीं... जिम्मेदारी की तरह उठाया। वह सिर्फ नई ball से खतरा नहीं बने, उन्होंने लंबे spells डाले, high speed बनाए रखी, और matches को ऐसे तोड़ा जैसे किसी बंद दरवाजे पर लगातार हथौड़ा पड़ रहा हो।
Records अब उनकी तरफ खुद चलकर आ रहे हैं। 433 Test wickets के साथ Mitchell Starc उस rare group में हैं, जहाँ fast bowlers 100 से ज्यादा Test matches खेलकर भी असरदार बने रहते हैं। Australia के लिए उनसे ज्यादा Test wickets केवल Shane Warne, Nathan Lyon और Glenn McGrath ने लिए हैं। लेकिन Starc की कहानी सिर्फ कुल wickets की नहीं है। 2022 की शुरुआत से उन्होंने 41 Test matches में 164 wickets लिए हैं। 2025 में उनकी bowling average 17.32 रही... उनके career का किसी एक calendar year में सबसे बेहतर आंकड़ा। यानी जिस उम्र में बहुत से fast bowlers अपनी रफ्तार से समझौता करने लगते हैं, Starc ने अपने खेल में नई धार जोड़ दी।
इस बदलाव के पीछे सिर्फ fitness नहीं... clarity है। Starc मानते हैं कि player न उतना अच्छा होता है जितना जीत के बाद दुनिया कहती है, और न उतना खराब जितना हार के बाद सुनाया जाता है। उनका अपना तरीका भी perfect नहीं है। वह अब भी गलत चीजों पर शिकायत करते हैं, अपने rhythm से परेशान होते हैं, और कभी-कभी उन्हें खुद लगता है कि सब कुछ सही जगह नहीं बैठ रहा। पिछली Ashes से पहले भी उन्हें आखिरी दिन तक महसूस नहीं हुआ था कि bowling पूरी तरह click कर रही है। लेकिन Australia के group में Head Coach Andrew McDonald, जिन्हें team Ron कहती है, और captain Pat Cummins ने एक साफ principle बनाया है... अच्छा दिन खत्म, खराब दिन खत्म, अच्छा over खत्म, खराब spell खत्म। अब सवाल सिर्फ इतना है: इसी समय क्या बदला जा सकता है?
यही सोच Mitchell Starc की bowling में दिखाई देती है। 16 साल के international experience के बाद उन्होंने सिर्फ पुरानी ताकतों पर भरोसा नहीं किया। उन्होंने wobble seam जोड़ी, consistency सुधारी, angles को बेहतर समझा, और अपनी aggression को अधिक controlled बनाया। उम्र ने उनकी speed को खत्म नहीं किया... अनुभव ने उसकी direction बदल दी। अब वह सिर्फ batsman को डराने के लिए तेज नहीं हैं, वह plan को execute करने के लिए तेज हैं।
फिर भी Darwin का comeback आसान नहीं होगा। Mitchell Starc ने Delhi Capitals के लिए six-match I.P.L. stint के बाद कोई competitive match नहीं खेला है। Tournament का पहला हिस्सा वह injury के कारण miss कर चुके थे। Bangladesh के खिलाफ पहला Test इसलिए record chase के साथ-साथ rhythm की परीक्षा भी होगा। क्या पहला spell तुरंत वही sharpness दिखाएगा? क्या long format में body फिर से पूरी intensity झेल पाएगी? क्या Kapil Dev का landmark पहली ही innings में पार होगा? और क्या Dale Steyn का नाम भी इसी series में पीछे छूट जाएगा? जवाब scoreboard देगा... लेकिन Starc ने अपनी प्राथमिकता पहले ही साफ कर दी है। वह इतिहास के पीछे भागते दिखाई नहीं देंगे। वह run-up पर लौटेंगे, crease पर आएंगे, और अगली ball पर ध्यान देंगे।
यही इस कहानी का असली cinema है... एक महान fast bowler, अपने career के अंतिम बड़े अध्यायों में, records के दरवाजे पर खड़ा है; लेकिन उसकी नजर दरवाजे पर नहीं, batsman के stumps पर है। आप सुन रहे थे Guru News Network, powered by द गुरु ज्ञान... जहाँ cricket की हर बड़ी कहानी सिर्फ बताई नहीं जाती, उसकी धड़कन तक पहुँचाई जाती है। Trusted cricket news, sharp analysis, fastest live line और साफ match intelligence के लिए द गुरु ज्ञान से जुड़े रहिए... क्योंकि खेल का असली आनंद तब आता है, जब हर delivery के पीछे की कहानी भी सुनाई दे।
Mitchell Starc is approaching a moment that would make most fast bowlers pause, look back, and measure the distance they have travelled. Yet as Australia prepare to face Bangladesh in Darwin on August 13, Starc appears far more interested in the next ball than the next name on the all-time list. He will enter the first Test with 433 wickets from 105 matches. Kapil Dev stands only one wicket ahead on 434. Dale Steyn is six wickets away on 439. A place among the ten leading wicket-takers in Test history is no longer a distant possibility. It is close enough to arrive in a single spell.
But Starc has refused to turn the milestone into theatre. When asked about passing Kapil Dev and Dale Steyn, he reduced the grandeur of the moment to a simple observation: it means he has played a bit. Beneath that dry response lies a revealing philosophy. He described being mentioned alongside those great fast bowlers as cool and deeply humbling, but insisted that such numbers do not carry much weight while he is still playing. He does not want to get too far ahead. For a bowler whose career has been built on speed, movement, and violent disruption, his thinking has become remarkably still.
That calm has arrived after one of the finest years of his Test career. In 2025, Starc claimed 55 wickets in 11 matches, more than any other bowler in that calendar year. His work in the West Indies was followed by a commanding home Ashes campaign, where Australia won four-one and Starc led the attack with 31 wickets at an average of 19.94. The responsibility was unusually heavy. Josh Hazlewood and captain Pat Cummins were unavailable for much, and in some cases all, of the contest. Starc did not merely survive the extra burden. He became the force around which Australia's bowling attack moved.
His longevity now looks almost as striking as his pace. Fast bowlers rarely pass 100 Tests without losing either speed, effectiveness, or both. Starc has crossed that threshold and remains capable of high pace, long spells, and match-breaking bursts. Among Australian bowlers, only Shane Warne, Nathan Lyon, and Glenn McGrath have taken more Test wickets. Since the beginning of 2022, Starc has collected 164 wickets in 41 Tests. His bowling average of 17.32 in 2025 was the best he has recorded in any calendar year. At 36, he is not simply extending his career. He is refining it.
The refinement is technical, but it is also mental. Starc has spoken openly about the danger of believing the extremes that surround professional sport. A player is never quite as good as triumph suggests, and never quite as poor as criticism declares. He admits that he still complains when something feels wrong. Even before the last Ashes summer, his bowling did not feel settled until the day before the series. Yet the Australian environment, shaped by Head Coach Andrew McDonald, known within the group as Ron, and captain Pat Cummins, has encouraged a ruthless form of emotional economy. A good day is finished. A bad day is finished. A good over is finished. A bad spell is finished. The only useful question is what can be changed in real time.
That principle can be seen in the evolution of Starc's craft. After 16 years at international level, he has not relied only on the weapons that made him famous. He has added the wobble seam, improved his consistency, sharpened his control, and learned how to create danger without demanding perfection from every delivery. The raw speed remains, but experience now gives it structure. He is no longer merely a fast bowler trying to overwhelm a batter. He is a senior craftsman building an innings toward collapse.
Darwin, however, will also carry the uncertainty of a return. Starc has not played a competitive match since his six-game IPL stint with Delhi Capitals, having missed the first half of the tournament through injury. The Bangladesh Test will therefore test more than his position on a record table. It will test rhythm after a layoff, physical readiness for long spells, and the ability to move from franchise cricket back into the slower, more demanding architecture of a Test match.
The numbers create irresistible questions. Will Kapil Dev's mark fall in Starc's opening spell? Could Dale Steyn be overtaken during the same series? Will Starc enter the top ten before the Bangladesh tour is complete? Yet the most compelling part of the story is that Starc seems unwilling to chase the drama. He will run in, watch the batter, feel the ball in his hand, and deal with the delivery in front of him. History may arrive, but he does not intend to greet it early.
That is the beauty of this chapter. One of Australia's greatest left-arm fast bowlers stands at the edge of another landmark, while behaving as though the landmark belongs to somebody else.

Main Story: History saamne hai, lekin Starc ki nazar next ball par
Mitchell Starc Australia ke Bangladesh ke against upcoming Test series me all-time wicket charts ke ek prestigious zone ke bilkul kareeb pahunch chuke hain. Unke 433 Test wickets unhe Kapil Dev ke 434 se ek aur Dale Steyn ke 439 se chhe wickets peeche rakhte hain.
Record chase naturally headline ban raha hai, lekin Starc ne apni response me milestone ko deliberately downplay kiya. Unhone kaha ki itna tally hona bas ye batata hai ki unhone kaafi cricket khela hai. Kapil Dev aur Dale Steyn jaise greats ke saath mention hona unke liye cool aur humbling hai, par active career ke beech woh numbers ko apni preparation ka center nahi banana chahte.
Ye approach Starc ke recent cricket ko accurately reflect karti hai. Pace ab bhi intact hai, long spells ki capacity ab bhi dangerous hai, aur experience ne unke game ko zyada controlled bana diya hai. Starc filhaal milestone ke noise se door rehkar apne run-up, rhythm aur next spell par focus kar rahe hain.

Current Test Wickets433 from 105 Tests
The Record Equation
Starc ka position simple numbers me dramatic lagta hai: ek wicket unhe Kapil Dev ke level par le jayega, do wickets unhe Indian legend se aage kar denge, aur seven wickets unhe Dale Steyn ke 439 se bhi aage le ja sakte hain.
Mitchell Starc433 wickets
Kapil Dev434 wickets
Dale Steyn439 wickets
Starc Test Matches105
Australian Test wicket-takers me Starc se aage sirf Shane Warne, Nathan Lyon aur Glenn McGrath hain. Ye context unki longevity ko aur exceptional banata hai, especially ek fast bowler ke liye jo 100 se zyada Tests ke baad bhi high pace generate kar raha hai.
Starc on the milestone
“It means I've played a bit. It is cool and very humbling to be spoken about with those guys. But that stuff doesn't mean a whole lot while you're still playing. You don't get too far ahead.”
Mitchell Starc, speaking to Australian Associated Press
Quote ka central message clear hai: Starc record ko reject nahi kar rahe, lekin usse active performance par dominate bhi nahi hone de rahe. Fast bowling me anticipation useful hoti hai, overthinking utni nahi.
2025: Career ke strongest Test years me se ek
Starc ka 2025 Test season outstanding raha. Unhone 11 matches me 55 wickets liye, jo calendar year ka highest bowling tally tha. West Indies me strong impact ke baad unhone home Ashes me Australia ke attack ko lead kiya.
Australia ne Ashes 4-1 se jeeti, aur Starc ne 31 wickets 19.94 ki average par liye. Josh Hazlewood aur captain Pat Cummins ki extended absence ke beech unka workload aur tactical responsibility dono badhe, lekin output compromise nahi hua.
2025 me unki 17.32 bowling average unke career ki kisi bhi calendar year me best thi. 2022 ki start se Starc ne 41 Tests me 164 wickets liye hain, jo unki late-career consistency ko rare category me rakhta hai.
Key Turning Point: Clear mindset ne bowling ko simplify kiya
Starc apni recent success ko sirf fitness ya speed se explain nahi karte. Unke according clearer mindset ne unhe good aur bad phases ko jaldi process karne me help kiya hai.
“You're never as good or bad as you think or other people think you are.”
Mitchell Starc
Unhone accept kiya ki woh ab bhi cheezein wrong feel hone par moan aur whinge karte hain. Last Ashes se pehle bhi unhe series ke ek din pehle tak complete rhythm ka confidence nahi tha. Lekin Head Coach Andrew McDonald, jinhe group me Ron kaha jata hai, aur Pat Cummins ke leadership setup ne squad ko ek practical reset culture diya hai.
“Whether it's a good day, bad day, good over, bad spell, it's done. Move on. What can you change in real time?”
Mitchell Starc on Australia's team mindset
Technical Evolution: Wobble seam aur consistency ka role
16 years ke international experience ke baad Starc ka game sirf raw pace par dependent nahi hai. Unhone wobble seam variation add ki, consistency improve ki aur apne release patterns ko zyada reliable banaya.
Unka point straightforward hai: itne lambe career me survive karna tabhi possible hai jab player learn, develop aur improve karta rahe. Starc ki current bowling isi evolution ka result hai, jahan pace ke saath control aur tactical patience bhi equally important ho gaye hain.
Why wobble seam matters
Wobble seam batter ko late movement ke against uncertain rakhti hai, especially jab conventional swing limited ho. Starc ke natural angle ke saath ye variation unke threat ko sirf new-ball phase tak limited nahi rehne deti.
Darwin comeback: Record ke saath rhythm test bhi
Starc ne Delhi Capitals ke liye six-match IPL stint ke baad competitive cricket nahi khela hai. Tournament ka first half unhone injury ke karan miss kiya tha, isliye Bangladesh ke against first Test me workload transition important rahega.
Test cricket ka spell length, recovery demand aur match rhythm franchise cricket se different hota hai. Darwin me opening Test Starc ke liye record opportunity ke saath match fitness ka real assessment bhi hoga.
Australia ke liye encouraging sign ye hai ki Starc ka recent Test record elite level par raha hai. Agar woh early rhythm find kar lete hain, to Kapil Dev aur Dale Steyn ke landmarks series ke natural by-product ban sakte hain.
Why this news matters
Mitchell Starc ka Kapil Dev aur Dale Steyn ke wicket marks ke kareeb aana modern fast-bowling longevity ka major story hai. 100-plus Tests, sustained pace aur improving output ka combination cricket history me common nahi hai.
Bangladesh ke liye bhi ye context important hai. Visitors ko aise bowler ka saamna karna hoga jo record milestone se energized ho sakta hai, lekin public pressure ko apne process se door rakhne ki koshish kar raha hai.
Australia ke bigger picture me Starc ka return attack balance ke liye crucial hai. Unki ability new ball, old ball aur long spells me wickets create karne ki team ko multiple tactical routes deti hai.
