World Cup 2019: Five Australian players India should watch out

#3 Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc is one of the top fast bowlers going around in world cricket at the moment. He has been in and out of international cricket due to injury issues hence his form hasn't been consistent. But India will definitely not underestimate his threat due to his quality.

Over the years we have seen that Indian batsmen don't play left-arm seamers that well. The trio of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has struggled in the past against left-arm fast bowlers. The Indian top order has to be extra cautious against Starc with the new ball.

Starc seems to have found his form back as in the last match against West Indies he picked up a 5-fer. He bowled brilliantly with the new ball, middle overs and at the depth which prevented the Windies from reaching the target of 289.

He bowls mostly in the higher 140s and at that speed he swings the ball which makes him a dangerous bowler. His inswinging yorkers at the depth overs are also very good. So Starc definitely possesses a real threat to the Indian batting line-up on Sunday.
