Inform Mitchell Starc will destroy any batting lineup

The Australian is one of the most deadly limited overs bowlers in international cricket right now. He constantly hits the 90mph mark and possesses a lethal yorker.

Mitchell Starc previously played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the last two editions of the tournament. However, he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders this time, for a whopping $1.8m.

Starc has played 27 IPL games so far and took 34 wickets. He bowls in the power plays and in the death overs for Australia in T20I and will do the same for KKR. He is a prolific wicket-taker and Kolkata will expect nothing different.

Mitchell Starc is fit and currently playing for Australia in their limited overs series against England. He is available for the full tournament, barring injuries. We will be seeing a lot of toe-crushing yorkers.
