When it is fierce competition on the field, moments of sportsmanship stand out even more. After Delhi Capitals’ thrilling Super Over win against Rajasthan Royals, a touching moment between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mitchell Starc stole the spotlight. This was their first meeting since their heated exchange during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where Jaiswal had taunted Starc in the Perth Test, saying, “It’s coming too slow”.

In the recent IPL 2025 clash, Jaiswal approached Starc post-match, greeted him warmly with “Legend… Well bowled!”, and the two shared a hug, signaling the end of any past bitterness. Their friendly chat was captured and shared by Delhi Capitals’ official handle, delighting fans online.

Starc was the hero of the night, defending just 9 runs in the last over to push the game into a Super Over, eventually leading DC to victory. With that win, Delhi Capitals now sit atop the IPL 2025 points table with 5 wins in 6 matches. Their next challenge is against the Gujarat Titans on April 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

This moment not only reflected the personal growth of the players involved but also reminded fans of the spirit of cricket, intense yet respectful.
