Mitchell Starc was acquired by the Delhi Capitals for an incredible INR 11.75 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. He had a fantastic 2024 season with the Kolkata Knight Riders, helping them win the IPL 2024 trophy, but KKR unexpectedly let him go. Starc made headlines during the IPL 2024 auction when KKR broke the bank and purchased him for Rs. 24.75 crore, making him the most expensive player in IPL auction history at the moment. Healy's remark highlights how significant it is for her to follow Starc's IPL experience. 

 Mitchell Starc lauds Axar Patel for captaincy

The Delhi Capitals now have a clear plan after Mitchell Starc joined the squad. Starc is one of the best bowlers in a tournament where scores are decided by powerplays and last overs. If he stays healthy, he might give Delhi the extra edge it has been missing for years. In his full-time IPL 2025 debut against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Mitchell Starc described Axar Patel, the new captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC), as "calm" and "fantastic."

During the post-match interview with JioHotstar Starc praisedAxar for his captaincy. "He's been pretty calm. This is the first time I've shared a dressing room with him. Having seen him from the other side of the field, it's impressive how he has developed into such a dominant all-rounder in international cricket today. Even the intent he showed with the abt tonight played a crucial role in getting us on our way. He's been fantastic," Starc said.
