Here's What Mitchell Starc Said During Mid-Innings Break
Mitchell Starc (Delhi Capitals):
"Feeling pretty hot. I think the Sunrisers are a powerful side and powerplay wickets were key. We did a fine job. It's nice to get in this new franchise and get five wickets in just the second match is a good feeling. There are a couple of young guys and I'm feeling old with 35 years (laughs)."
"(On dismissing Head for the 6th time) I think that's why he doesn't face the first ball anymore (laughs). I have played T20 cricket a lot across 15 years. Last year was my first year back in IPL after a long time and it was great. I talk to the young players and try to give them advise whenever I can."
