Patting on the backside is nothing new in sports, as we often see players do greet each other once something good happens on the field in their favour. However, Mitchell Starc and David Miller, who represented different IPL franchises on Monday, did the same thing, and no wonder it went viral on social media in no time.

What Exactly Happened Between Starc And Miller?

The incident happened during the 16th over of Lucknow Super Giants' innings when David Miller, who joined from Gujarat Titans, was at the non-striker's end. A quick throw came from the short cover when Ayush Badoni tapped it there and went for a quick single. Had Miller not dived in an extensive manner, he would have gone, as Abhishek Porel was quick to break the stumps.

New DC joinee Mitchell Starc, who was changing his position, then made the gesture towards Miller, and he laughed at the South African batter when they looked at each other.

Meanwhile Miller gave LSG a fiery finish, smashing Mohit Sharma for back-to-back sixes to power his side to 209/8. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran wreaked havoc, but the others, specially skipper Rishabh Pant, disappointed the fans.

Shardul Thakur On Fire!

At the time of writing this, Delhi Capitals are 43/3 after 4.3 overs, with Shardul Thakur sending Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel back to the hut. Axar Patel and Faf du Plessis, captain and vice-captain respectively, are at the crease, batting on 20* and 18*.
