On Sunday, April 14, against the Lucknow Super Giants, Mitchell Starc sparkled with the ball. With just 28 runs conceded, the deadly pacer claimed three wickets. Additionally, he picked up Nicholas Pooran‘s costly wicket in the 20th over while only giving up six runs. Talks about him struggling to settle into the T20 rhythm preceded the performance.
KKR paid an incredible 24.75 crore for Starc in the Indian Premier League 2024 auctions. The bid rose to become the highest in IPL history. The Australian pacer, though, had not been able to work his magic in the competition thus far. He had taken just two wickets with an economy rate of 11 before the LSG match. Star said he doesn’t read news feeds, and even if he did, it wouldn’t affect him.
Because I don’t read anything, that doesn’t bother me. For those who have participated in numerous Test matches, T20 cricket is undoubtedly more physically easy. It’s more about acclimating to the tactical aspect of it. Since I haven’t played much T20 cricket in the past several years, it has definitely taken me a little longer than I would have preferred to acclimate to the situation and improve my impact. Therefore, there was a good aspect of today,” Starc remarked, according to ESPNcricinfo.
I have much experience with this. Mitchell Starc
The Australian pacer’s preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 depends heavily on the ongoing IPL 2024. Athletes have a demanding job because the Indian Premier League lasts for two months and involves players traveling throughout the nation. Despite playing all 14 league games, Starc believes he can manage his workload.

As I’m 34 years old, I manage my workload fairly well. It’s been a while since I started doing this. I believe that’s a characteristic of T20 cricket, and we play again on Tuesday. Games come around so fast, he continued, that you can’t really reflect on the past because you’re always focused on the next one, whether you’re having a good or bad day.
