After 'too slow' sledging , Jaiswal, Starc's chatter goes viral – Watch

NEW DELHI: In the aftermath of a thrilling

IPL 2025

clash between

Delhi Capitals

and Rajasthan Royals, the spotlight wasn't just on the

Super Over drama

, but also on a heartwarming post-match exchange between two of the game’s fiercest competitors: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mitchell Starc.
The two were at the centre of a now-viral sledging moment during the India-Australia Test series in the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where Jaiswal cheekily told Starc, “It’s coming too slow,” after defending a back-of-length delivery.

The comment, caught on stump mic, drew laughs and sparked light-hearted chatter among fans, with Starc later revealing he hadn’t even heard it in real-time.

That tension, however, seemed to have melted away during Wednesday night’s IPL thriller at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

After Starc's superb final over helped push the match into a Super Over, which Delhi eventually won, cameras caught Jaiswal and Starc embracing with smiles and sharing a few friendly words.
Jaiswal was heard asking, “Are you having fun in Delhi?” to which Starc, with a grin, responded, “We have been here for five days.”

The moment was a stark contrast to their fiery exchanges in whites, showing how quickly camaraderie can resurface in franchise cricket.

With Starc’s calm under pressure helping DC clinch a Super Over win and Jaiswal’s steady form keeping RR in the fight, both players continue to make headlines this time, for all the right reasons.
It’s just another reminder that while cricket is a battle on the field, respect always finds its way through.
