“They (Arora and Harshit) are exciting to watch and are talented, they are skillful. It’s good to see how hard they train. Harshit has been phenomenal this year. Our bowling attack has been great, it’s hard to single anyone out. As an older and overseas player, it’s good to see. No doubt they’ll take many wickets in the IPL and for India as well,” Starc said.
