How Shreyas Iyer's pep-talk bolstered under-fire Mitchell Starc as KKR pacer strikes thrice in an over vs MI

Hindustan Times  

Australian pacer Mitchell Starc was roped in as the most expensive player in the Indian Premier League history by the Kolkata Knight Riders. David went all guns blazing and whipped the left-arm quickie over backward square for a six on the first ball as Starc’s wife and Australia’s women’s team skipper Alyssa Healy looked on in despair. As the match already looked rolling in KKR’s favour, Starc followed David’s wicket by dismissing Piyush Chawla on the very next ball off another low full-toss that was hit straight to Sunil Narine. After the win, KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer revealed his conversation with the Australian speedster ahead of their clash against the Mumbai Indians where he talked about the importance of KKR’s win over the latter for playoffs.
