Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “I am Back” in Terminator? That is how Mitchell Starc has announced himself ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup. The Australian pacer has sent shockwaves in India after shattering Sunrisers Hyderabad’s top order in the IPL 2024 Final.
India’s bogeyman Mitchell Starc is now armed, primed and ready to rock the T20 World Cup. After winning the ODI World Cup in India, potentially winning IPL 2024, the pacer is now targeting another ICC trophy this season.
Mitchell Starc destroy SRH Top order
Kolkata Knight Riders got a dream start. First over, Abhishek Sharma departs for just 2. The architect for destruction – obviously Mitchell Starc. Come next over, Vaibhav Arora dispatches Travis Head for a golden duck.
Starc’s second over was a bit expensive compared to his standards. SRH tried to find their groove in the game. Both Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram flicked fast paced outswingers to get a couple of boundaries.
But on his third over, Starc got his preferred victim. Rahul Tripathi was this time sent packing. The youngster attempts to play a big shot and ends up sending the ball high in the night sky. And Ramandeep takes a simple catch as KKR lose their third wicket.
Ready for T20 World Cup
Owing to his huge price tag of 24.75 crores, Mitchell Starc was subjected to massive trolls. The Aussie started IPL 2024 on a slow note, unable to get wickets and conceding huge runs. But as the tournament progressed, Starc got back to his rhythm and started to send batters packing.
Now this is danger news for Team India. The Men in Blue are tipped to be favourites for the tournament. But Starc returning to form will be surely keen the Indians terrified.
