The unique ‘century’ of the most expensive bowler in the history of IPL, Mitchell Starc concedes 100 runs in 8 over’s without taking a single wicket

The High-Stakes Auction Drama:

Leading up to the IPL auction, there was immense speculation surrounding which franchise would secure Mitchell Starc’s services. The auction witnessed a fierce bidding war, with prominent teams like Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians expressing keen interest in acquiring the services of the renowned speedster. However, it was Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) who eventually clinched the deal, outbidding other contenders with a staggering offer of 24.75 crores. This hefty price tag not only made Starc the most expensive player in IPL history but also heightened expectations regarding his performance on the field.

Despite the drama and excitement surrounding Mitchell Starc’s acquisition, his lackluster start to the tournament has raised questions about his form and adaptability to the T20 format. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Starc as he seeks to justify his record-breaking price tag and make a significant impact for his franchise, KKR, in the remainder of the IPL 2024 campaign.
