One of the finest bowlers in the white-ball cricket, Mitchell Starc has been a sensational left-arm pacer known for his variety of devastating swinging yorkers and bouncers. His lethal bowling at the powerplays and death made him the top-wicket taker of both 2015 and 2019 editions of the Cricket World Cup.
Starc has been a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2014 and 2015 as the team's front-line bowler. His presence was significant to the Virat Kohli-led side as he clinched 34 wickets in two seasons with his fearsome bowling. He hasn't played the IPL since then due to injuries and national commitments. His best performance came in 2015 as he cliched 4/15 against KXIP.
As the possibility of him playing this year's IPL remains intact, Starc could be in red-hot demand for all teams heading into the auction. His comeback in this year's IPL could put the bowling charts at high stakes this season.
