We all knew that at the right time he would present his tremendous performance in front of the world and he did just that.

There was no talk of money at all and with Starc’s arrival our team became even stronger.’ Gautam Gambhir praised Mitchell Starc a lot Regarding Abhishek Sharma’s bowling in the final, Gautam Gambhir said, ‘You expect a bowler to bowl a ball like this. Kolkata Knight Riders expected a great performance from Mitchell Starc in Qualifier 1 and the final and he did just that. I cannot say whether this ball was playable or not because there is no ball that cannot be played but yes it was a very good ball. I don’t care what people are saying about Starc or what is being discussed about him on social media. According to me, there should be no discussion about performance because big players always leave their mark in important matches. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
