Mitchell Starc’s brilliant performance
Former Australian batsman Matthew Hayden praised Mitchell Starc and said that the special thing about his bowling is his seam delivery, which troubles right-handed batsmen. He also told that usually the pink ball does not swing after the 40th over, but Starc made it swing at that time also. Haydn described it as a marvel of “speed”. He said, “It is not easy to maintain the pace and increase it at the right time, but Starc did it well. When the light is favorable and he has the pink ball in his hand, it is as if he works magic.”
Stark’s incredible performance
Starc performed brilliantly by taking a total of 6 wickets in India’s first innings. He achieved this feat by giving 48 runs in 14.1 overs. This is being considered as one of the best bowling of his career. Thanks to Australia’s strong bowling performance, they seem to be in a strong position in the game by the end of the second day. At the same time, India has a chance to improve its strategy the next day.
