Mitchell Starc last played the IPL in 2015

Mitchell Starc's another IPL stint ended prematurely after he suffered tibial bone stress in his right leg. This will be the third straight IPL season which Starc will not be a part of. Having played for the RCB last in 2015, he missed the 2016 season and the 2017 season as well.

Starc was due to play for the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2018. He was picked up at the auction for a whopping Rs 9.4 crores and was expected to be the go-to man with the ball. Starc's ability to get the ball to reverse swing makes him an invaluable asset to any team. The KKR bowling attack has lost venom after his injury.

Starc's performances in his little IPL career have been phenomenal, picking 34 wickets from 27 games. English pacer Tom Curran has been announced as his replacement for the 2018 season of the IPL.
