Team India’s former veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan has given a big statement regarding out-of-form Mitchell Starc. He explained how Mitchell Starc can regain his form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Kolkata’s fast bowlers have proved to be very expensive so far this season, they have bowled 8 overs so far this season, in which they gave away 100 runs.
So far he has played 2 matches against Hyderabad and Bangalore. Let us tell you that in the auction held before IPL 2024, KKR had bought Starc for Rs 24.75 crore, but till now he has not been able to perform as per expectations. For this reason, Starc is being trolled a lot regarding his price tag.
On Friday, March 29, Kolkata defeated Bangalore by 7 wickets. In this match, Starc recorded figures of 4-0-47-0. Pathan said Starc needs to find a way to make the ball more lethal for right-handed batsmen. The veteran said that once Starc finds his line-length, it will be very difficult for any opposition team to handle him.
Irfan Pathan told Mitchell Starc the formula for comeback
Regarding Starc, Irfan Pathan said on Star Sports, “When Starc is swinging the ball, he is in his best form. When that swing starts for a right-handed batsman, he can be even more lethal. And I haven’t seen that in the last two games. Perhaps he has not yet been able to adapt himself to the Indian situation. “Once he adapts to these conditions, or starts getting the inswing, he will be a bowler to watch throughout the IPL.”
Steve Smith, Starc’s teammate in the Australian team, said that if Starc gets his swing and bowls at a speed of around 145 km/h, he can become a big threat to any opposition team. Smith said, “I think today he will face a right-handed batsman.” wobble Was trying to swing, which is a good option, but I think he has to keep the right line-length for that.
He is a left arm fast bowler who can bowl at 145+ KMPH. For a right-handed batsman, there is no better option than the in-swing of the ball. This is one of the toughest balls to face. So if he gets that swing back, he will become one of the most lethal bowlers again.”
