Not the Big Bash League!
Mitchell Starc, Australia's star bowler, is set to end his nine-year hiatus and return to the IPL on March 22.
KKR became the highest-paid player in the history of the league when they bought Starc for 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. Prior to IPL 2024, which begins on March 22, Starc uploaded a video in which he praised the league and rated it as the best T20 league in the world, rather than the Big Bash League of Australia:
“A couple of guys that I’ve, international guys that I’ve played against and come across. Yeah, it’s gonna be exciting. It’s definitely a new challenge. But yeah, it’ll be exciting. It’s always a bit of a circus when it is the best T20 league in the world. So, yeah I look forward to it.”
On March 23, KKR will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad at their home ground, Eden Gardens.
