Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) fast bowler Mitchell Starc delivered his best performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 Qualifier 1 clash against SunRisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
Starc, who had a topsy-turvy run in the IPL 2024, removed three SRH batters within a span of 17 deliveries. His first victim was the SRH opener and his countryman Travis Head who was dismissed on the second delivery of the match. The premier Australian fast bowler later dismissed Nitish Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed to scalp three wickets in as many overs.
