While Kolkata Knight Riders clinched their first victory of IPL 2024, concerns loom over Mitchell Starc's performance.
Starc was acquired by KKR in the IPL 2024 auction for a staggering Rs 24.75 crore, making him the costliest player in both IPL 2024 and IPL history. Out of 99 bids, KKR secured Starc with the final bid. However, Starc's debut match was disappointing as he bowled the most expensive over of IPL 2024.
In the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Starc conceded 53 runs in four overs without taking a wicket, marking the costliest over of his IPL career. Despite economical spells in the first three overs, Starc leaked 26 runs in the last over, including four sixes.
The dismal performance sparked criticism on social media, with many questioning Starc's worth and accusing him of squandering KKR's investment.
