Talking about the upcoming IPL season, former KKR captain and mentor Gautam Gambhir said veteran Starc will be a huge asset in IPL 2024 for KKR.

“He is an X-factor, there is no doubt about that. Someone who can bowl with the new ball, bowl in the death overs and more importantly, someone who can lead the attack,” Gambhir said on Jio Cinema.

Gambhir also asserted that Starc will have a big impact on the domestic bowlers in the KKR unit, as he can help them with his vast experience.

“He is going to be of massive help to our two domestic bowlers because both of them are very talented and you need someone to help them out in the middle and Starc covers those bases. It is not only about his bowling but also about leading the attack and helping all guys around him. So, somebody will have to pay for it,” Gambhir added.
