Mitchell Starc is like the poison of the KKR team! The night fans are busy in arranging the new playing eleven by cutting him out Ever since the first two matches, there have been rumors of Mitchell Starc’s departure After KKR’s last-match win over RCB at the Eden Gardens, fans are no longer keen to see Mitchell Starc. Gautam Gambhir had earlier said don’t judge Mitchell Starc by his performance in four matches This time, the management opened its mouth not as a mentor
KKR CEO Venky Mysore made the management’s attitude clear without any hesitation. He said, “Venky is a superstar, don’t judge him in terms of investment.” His poor performance in this IPL season is under the scanner.
Mitchell Starc is the most expensive player bought in this year’s IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders Managing Director and CEO Venky Mysore supported him wholeheartedly. He says Stark doesn’t consider him from an “investment angle”.
KKR bought Starc for a record Rs 24.75 crore but it was a challenging decision at the time. Because the left-arm quick had limited experience in the shortest format and returned to the IPL after 9 years.
“He’s a superstar and he’s a star player,” said Mysore, interviewed during the Knights’ golf event at the RCGC.
“We don’t think of it from an investment perspective, because you go to the auction and events happen in the auction, which is not in the hands of the players and it’s not in the hands of anybody else.”
An addition to the team like Mitchell Starc would add a lot of value, which it has. His presence in the lineup itself adds a different dynamic to the team, and there are certain skills that the support staff is looking for. So, we think we had it.”
Starc’s rustiness in the T20 format has caught on as he conceded 100 runs in eight overs in the first two matches.
Things got worse on Sunday when they scored 54 off 16 balls at Eden Gardens and in the last over, RCB No. 9 Karan Sharma hit 3 sixes in 4 balls with little batting skill.
Starc, however, managed to save some pride with a low return catch to dismiss Karan which eventually sealed a dramatic 1-run win.
