Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel made Mitchell Starc recite a famous Bollywood dialogue in a lighthearted moment as IPL 2025 gears up for resumption. In a video released by the Capitals on May 14, 2025, Axar made the Aussie speedster say the dialogue from Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Shahenshah after inviting him on the stage.
Starc, who played a critical role in Kolkata Knight Riders' title victory last year, was surprisingly released by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. However, the southpaw found a bidder in the Capitals, who shelled out ₹11.75 crore in the auction. The veteran has claimed 14 wickets in 12 games at 27.29 alongside a fifer.

"Rishte mein hum tumhaare baap lagte hain. Naam hai Mitchell Starc.(In terms of relationships, I am like your father. Name is Mitchell Starc)," he said.
Mitchell Starc unlikely to be available for remaining matches of available for remaining matches of IPL 2025
Meanwhile, according to a Cricbuzz report, the left-arm speedster is unlikely to return for the remaining matches of IPL 2025 and is among the overseas players set to do so. The Capitals have already signed Mustafizur Rahman for Jake Fraser-McGurk, who has officially declined to return.
The Capitals had won their first four matches of the edition but their form dipped later in the tournament. They will face the Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on May 18, Sunday in what will be a must-win clash for the hosts.
