After Infamous "Slow" Jibe At Mitchell Starc, Yashasvi Jaiswal Bonds With Aus Legend. Watch

Yashasvi Jaiswal's exchanges with Mitchell Starc became a huge talking point during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year. During the first Test in Perth, Jaiswal had famously sledged Starc with a cheeky "You're coming too slow" remark after taking him on for fun. However, Starc eventually had the last laugh as he dismissed Jaiswal three times during the hotly-contest series, which Australia eventually won 3-1 to reclaim the Border Gavaskar Trophy for the first time after 2015.

"Some People Think...": Mitchell Starc Contradicts Mohammed Shami's Take On COVID Era Rule That Sparked A Debate

The use of saliva to shine cricket balls in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has generated contradictory views. Ahead of the IPL 2025, the BCCI lifted the long-standing ban on the use of saliva, first imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the likes of Mohit Sharma, Axar Patel, and others welcomed the upliftment of the ban, Australia star and Delhi Capitals pacer Mitchell Starc gave a completely contradictory reaction on the use of saliva. Starc's comment came after he brilliantly helped DC to claim a super over-win against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday.

"Box Isn't Getting Ticked But...": DC Skipper Axar Patel Backs Struggling Jake Fraser-McGurk

Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel conceded that his team has struggled with shaky starts with Jake Fraser-McGurk yet to fire this season but backed the Australian to be a game-changer once he finds his rhythm. The 23-year-old opener, who lit up the tournament in his maiden season last year with his power-hitting, has looked a shadow of himself in this edition. His ongoing struggles at the top continued in DC's dramatic Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals, as he perished inside the Powerplay for the fifth time this season.

Delhi Capitals registered their fifth win in six matches in the IPL 2025 on Wednesday to climb to the top of the points table. However, the win against Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi was not a smooth one for Delhi Capitals. After DC scored 188/5 in 20 overs, RR also ended up on the same score. The match was decided in Super Over, where DC won. In the match, DC's most consistent performer KL Rahul scored 38 off 32 balls (2x4s, 2x6s). Indian cricket team star batter Cheteshwar Pujara found some flaws in Rahul's batting.

Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper KL Rahul's one gesture turned out to be a saviour for Rajasthan Royals batter Dhruv Jurel during the IPL 2025 match on Thursday. DC posted a total of 188/5 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first. Later in the chase, RR put up a strong fight but DC restricted them to 188/4, hence taking the game to the super over, where the Axar Patel-led side won with one ball to spare.

Ahead Of Match vs GT, DC Skipper Axar Patel Gives Big Update On Faf Du Plessis' Availability

Axar Patel, the Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper, said he is hoping vice-captain Faf du Plessis would be back for their next game against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Saturday, adding that the physio will inform him about his match fitness status. Du Plessis has missed DC's matches against Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals due to an unspecified injury, whose nature has still not been made public. “Till now I was told that he can't play for three matches. He has been doing the recovery, so two matches are over. Maybe against Gujarat, he can play, but that too will have to be checked by physios as to how he is reacting to the injury,” said Axar in the post-match press conference.
