He is back to full fitness, and he's back to his best, maybe best ever. Mitchell Starc will be leading the world-class bowling line-up of the Aussie team again.
After missing out on a lot of international and domestic cricket this year due to injuries, Starc made his Test comeback against Pakistan in UAE and his ODI comeback against SA in Australia where he was bowling literal thunderbolts! A whole spell of 3-4 overs consistently clocking 148-150kmph on the speed gun shows how ready this left-arm quickie is to demolish the Indian line-up.
He has lots of experience playing against Indian batsmen in the international arena as well as the cash-rich Indian Premier League and it would be interesting to see how the Indian players handle this deadly duo of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins.
It's gonna be fierce bowling fire vs Kohli's batting fire!
