NEW DELHI: Delhi Capitals and Australia’s pace spearhead Mitchell Starc was spotted at the airport on Thursday. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Starc is seen loading his kit onto a trolley outside the airport terminal when he appears visibly displeased with a fan filming him. The left-arm quick is seen gesturing and shooing the fan away, repeatedly saying “Go away” — a phrase he utters three times in the clip.

Starc will not be returning for the remainder of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, and it is reliably learnt — as reported by TimesofIndia.com — that the Australian pacer has conveyed his decision to the Delhi Capitals (DC) management.
There had been considerable uncertainty surrounding the left-arm quick’s availability after the tournament was suspended due to cross-border tensions, but DC are now preparing to move forward without him.
The Axar Patel-led side resumed training with their first practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday. Among the overseas players, only Sri Lankan fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera was present.
Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs are expected to join the squad shortly, while team mentor Kevin Pietersen, who returned home during the break, is set to rejoin the camp on May 16.
Delhi Capitals' next fixture is against Gujarat Titans on May 18 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Ahead of that clash, the team will train at their franchise facility in Aerocity on Friday.
Gujarat Titans arrived in Delhi on the evening of May 15 and are scheduled to train on May 16.
Meanwhile, DC have brought in Mustafizur Rahman as a replacement for Jake Fraser-McGurk, while Gujarat Titans have signed Kusal Mendis to fill in for Jos Buttler, who will miss the playoffs.

Some Indians are so cringe. Who allows these unprofessional vloggers to be at Delhi Airport?
