Mitchell Starc might be gearing up for a battle on the field against India in the upcoming Super 8 clash, but off the field, it seems there’s nothing but admiration for Virat Kohli. Starc recently participated in a fun activity alongside teammate Marcus Stoinis, where they built their own all-time T20 teams.
While Starc’s selections were peppered with legendary names like Virat Kohli, Dale Steyn, and AB de Villiers, two picks grabbed particular attention. Starc’s number one opener wasn’t a surprise – his wife, Alyssa Healy. A six-time World Cup winner and arguably the greatest player in the history of Australian women’s cricket, Healy’s inclusion is a sweet tribute from her husband.
Another interesting selection was Zaheer Khan, the former Indian fast bowler. Often overshadowed by his contemporaries, Zaheer was a vital cog in India’s white-ball cricket and a genuine wicket-taking threat.
Meanwhile, Stoinis opted for the legendary MS Dhoni in his XI, a testament to Dhoni’s finishing prowess and captaincy brilliance in the T20 format.
