Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Delhi Capitals (DC) celebrated a special moment for their left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc on Thursday as the Australian star made Test cricket history on International Left-Handers Day 2026.

Starc, who has been a key part of the Delhi Capitals squad. continues to add major milestones to his career. His latest record has given the franchise another reason to celebrate his success on the international stage.

The Australian pacer was available for only five games for Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2026 season as he missed the first month of IPL due to injury. He finished the season with nine wickets across five games for DC.
