Mitchell Starcs failure Reasons in IPL 2024: Starc, who is a big name in ODI cricket, holds a good reputation in T20 format too. The left-armer, who played his last season back in 2015, was expected to torture batters.
But his start was completely opposite of what everyone thought.
He conceded 100 runs in the first 2 games without taking any wicket. Kolkata, however, trusted the Aussie great and he managed to deliver to some extent in his third game with a 3-0-25-2 spell against Delhi Capitals.
With KKR failing to post a decent total against CSK at Chepauk, there were many expectations from Starc to provide breakthroughs upfront.
But he was unable to do so, giving 29 for none in 3 overs, and KKR lost their first game of the season.
The Knight Riders are still in second spot on the points table, yet Starc’s out of form game is a cause of concern for the 2-time champions.

Ageing Factor
The T20 World Cup will start right after the conclusion of Indian Premier League, and the IPL is a 2-month long league, where each team will play a minimum of 14 games.
Playing too much cricket at high intensity is a challenge for every player, and they all deliver according to their teams’ needs. However, the risk of injury increases over such long consecutive plays.
Maintaining fitness for the major league, as a 34-year-old pacer, who often plays 2 or 3 game T20 series is a challenge in and of itself.
But the speedster has passed the test and is looking in good shape; his spell against Delhi showed his ability, and he is expected to deliver a match winning spell soon.
