Unless CA signs off on him saying he is fit to play, there is very little a franchise can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Starc isn\u2019t there at the outset of DC\u2019s campaign, it compounds Axar Patel\u2019s challenge in his second season as skipper. While the 32-year-old\u2019s ability as an all-rounder in the T20 format is well-established \u2014 he has now been an integral part of two T20 World Cup-winning Indian teams \u2014 he is still growing into his role as captain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are in the leadership group, you start thinking about the others as well. So, that is the change,\u201d Axar observed. \u201cI have become more involved with how to use others well. I try to keep myself in the front as a leader. I want to be there in the difficult situations, so that it becomes easy for the rest. That is what I have been trying to do over the past 10-12 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Mar 23, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/mitchell-starc-injury-fitness-update-delhi-capitals-ipl-2026-team-news-cricket-australia-noc-issue\/article70775204.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani said on Monday that Mitchell Starc\u2019s availability for the start of IPL-19 hinges on how soon Cricket Australia (CA) issues a no-objection certificate to the left-arm pacer.
