The Australian speedster, who missed the last couple of seasons of IPL because of injuries, has registered himself for the auction this year with his base price set at INR 2 crore. Starc has the ability to consistently clock speeds in excess of the 140-mark, irrespective of the conditions, and can be fairly difficult for any batting side to handle.

Starc was the second highest wicket-taker in the Ashes with 22 scalps and will want to keep himself fit for the T20 tournament. In two seasons of the IPL, the 27-year-old has 34 wickets to his name, 20 of which came in the 2015 edition and 14 the previous year.
When fit, Starc is easily one of the best bowlers in the world and is set to start a bidding war among the IPL franchises.
