In the IPL 2024 Auctions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) splurged a hefty sum of 24.75 Crore to acquire Mitchell Starc. However, his debut season with KKR didn’t kick off as expected. However, he silenced his critics with an impressive bounce back in a recent match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
In that game, Starc showcased his bowling prowess by taking a crucial three wickets while conceding just 28 runs in his allocated four overs. His defining moment arrived in the final over of LSG’s innings when he dismissed Arshad Khan with a brilliant delivery that swung in late and rattled the stumps.
This vintage display of late swing bowling by Starc served as a reminder of his exceptional skill and pinpoint accuracy. With LSG restricted to a below-par total of 161 runs in their 20 overs, KKR seems well-positioned to secure their fourth win of the season, bouncing back strongly from their previous loss against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
