New Delhi. Mitchell Starc is a big match player and there should be no worry about his form. This was said by Sandeep Patil at the time of World Cup 2023, which was then proved to be 100 percent true. Australian pacer Mitchell Starc once again explained why he is a player in big matches. This most expensive player of IPL gave his best performance when his team KKR needed it. In the first qualifier of IPL, he spoiled the form of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the power play itself. The SRH team, which is known for scoring runs in the powerplay, had its 4 stalwarts return to the pavilion within the sixth over.
The first qualifier of IPL 2024 was played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first. But the first attack on this decision of Australia’s Cummins was made by compatriot Starc. Mitchell Starc shook Sunrisers Hyderabad by taking 3 wickets in the powerplay.
Left-handed pacer Mitchell Starc did not let Sunrisers’ explosive opener Travis Head even open his account. He clean bowled Australia’s Travis Head on the second ball of the first over. This ball of Starc was of yorker length, which also swung. Travis Head swung his bat, but the ball hit the stumps directly.
Starc sets the tone for Qualifier 1 with a ripper! #IPLonJioCinema #TATAIPL #KKRvSRH #TATAIPLPlayoffs #IPLinBengali pic.twitter.com/3AJG5BvZwT
