Mitchell Starc irked by unwanted attention at airport; Delhi Capitals pacer says ‘go away’ to fan in viral video - Watch

Delhi Capitals pacer Mitchell Starc got irked by a fan filming him at the Delhi airport while the Australian was stacking his bags on a trolley in the departure section, a viral video showed. Starc was among the several overseas cricketers who left India after the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) was suspended for a week amid India-Pakistan border tensions.

While the IPL 2025 is gearing up for resumption on May 17, the revised new dates clash with the international calendar, especially the World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa and England's tour of the West Indies.

In the video, the fan tried to capture Starc's attention, but the Delhi Capitals left-arm pacer clearly wasn't pleased. As soon as the fan started recording the video, Starc could be heard saying, ‘Go away.’ His wife and Australian women's team captain, Alyssa Healy, was alongside Starc.

Mitchell Starc unlikely to return for IPL 2025

Meanwhile, Starc is unlikely to return for IPL 2025 along with fellow countryman Jake Fraser-McGurk. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, the left-arm pacer has already informed Delhi Capitals the he will not be returning for the tournament. Sensing his unavailability for the remainder of IPL 2025, Delhi Capitals named Bangladesh's left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman as a replacement player for Jake.

Led by Axar Patel, Delhi Capitals are placed fifth in the table with 13 points and three games in hand. They started with a bang with five wins in their first six games. However, a dip in form the middle stages put Delhi Capitals playoff qualification at risk. They need to win all their remaining games to qualify for IPL 2025 playoffs.
