Sports News: An unexpected and worrying incident took place during the IPL match being played against Punjab Kings in Dharamshala on 8 May. Suddenly the lights of the stadium went off, due to which the game had to be stopped and the atmosphere became tense. This incident was also considered serious because Dharamshala is located very close to the Indo-Pak border, which is a sensitive area from the security point of view.
During this time, Mitchell Starc's wife, Australian women's cricket team captain Alyssa Healy, was also present in the stadium, which makes this incident even more special. This incident has raised many questions about the safety of the players and spectators and has presented a big challenge regarding security in front of the IPL organizers.
Due to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir and the subsequent action by the Indian Army, security was tightened across the country. Due to this, the IPL had to be halted for 10 days, which slowed down the pace of the tournament.
In this tense environment, Mitchell Starc chose not to return to India, prioritizing the safety of himself and his family. He said that this decision was very important for him, and he is focusing on preparing for Test cricket in England.
Starc took 14 wickets in 11 matches for Delhi Capitals this season, but due to security reasons, he did not return to India in the second phase of the tournament. His decision also affected the team's performance.
This incident in Dharamsala has raised questions on the safety of players and spectators. The organizers will have to take more stringent steps for security so that such incidents can be avoided in the future and the morale of the players remains high.
