Is it time for Shreyas Iyer's KKR to rest Mitchell Starc in IPL 2024?
This is one list Mitchell Starc will not want to be on top of. “It is T20 cricket, it can get brutal,” Starc had said after the win against Delhi Capitals, but clearly IPL17 has not seen the death bowling aspect of this great fast bowler who took 16 wickets, including three in the final, to help Australia win the 50-over World Cup in India a little over six months ago. Attempting a yorker fetched Karn Sharma’s wicket in the final over and, along with Phil Salt’s goalkeeper-like dive to effect a run-out, helped KKR win their seventh game by one run. “The fast delivery was being dispatched easily.” It was what RCB’s Cameron Green and even Lockie Ferguson did to slow down KKR and it was what Russell and Rana did as well. Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Shane Bond, Trent Boult and Mitchell Johnson have been some of KKR’s expensive fast bowling buys who didn’t play all the games in a season.
