A lethal bowler who can swing the ball both ways, Mitchell Starc was simply unplayable in the 2015 World Cup. He finished with 22 wickets at an astonishing average of 10.18 per wicket. Thanks to his brilliant bowling performance, Australia went on to clinch their 5th World Cup title in 2015.
Making his debut against India in 2010, the New South Wales bowler evolved to be the spearhead of the Aussie bowling line up after the retirement of senior fast players. He bowls regularly over 150 km/hr with accuracy and has the ability to perform even in pitches which are not conducive to fast bowling.
In his short career, Starc has already picked up 98 wickets in 51 ODIs at an impressive average of 19.79. With his exceptional skills and his ability to reverse the ball, he could end up being a modern great of bowling in ODIs.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
