IPL 2018: 5 players who can fill void created by Mitchell Starc's absence

#4 Matt Henry

Wicket-taking replacement for Starc

Matt Henry might turn out to be the perfect replacement for Mitchell Starc due to his wicket-taking abilities. The Kiwi bowler has surprisingly failed to cement a place in the ODI team for New Zealand despite boasting of an eye-catching tally of 67 wickets in just 35 ODIs.

He was picked by Kings XI Punjab in the 2017 IPL but failed to justify his selection by leaking runs in the two matches that he was given the chance to play. This and being dropped from the New Zealand team led to his non-selection in the IPL auctions this year. Starc's injury might prove to be a blessing in disguise for this talented Kiwi though.
