All eyes will be on Mitchell Starc in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League as the Australian fast bowler became the costliest buy in the history of the IPL auction.

All eyes will be on Mitchell Starc in the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League as the Australian fast bowler became the costliest buy in the history of the IPL auction. The left-arm fast bowler was bought by two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore yesterday. This season will mark his return to the cash-rich tournament as he last played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL in 2015. At that time RCB was led by star Indian batsman Virat Kohli.

Starc recently spoke about his time with RCB and also called Kohli a "tough competitor".

Star Sports posted a video on X. "I fondly remember the few years I spent with Virat at RCB. He was also the captain. It was the first time I got to know him well, especially off the field," Star Sports posted a video on X.

"He's such a different person off the field. Such a humble and warm character off the field and then very competitive on it. That's what I remember most about him," he added.

Not only Starc, Australian captain Pete Cummins also became an expensive buy in the IPL 2023 auction as he was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 20.50 crore.

Earlier this month, former South African all-rounder Chris Morris praised KKR's record bid for Starc, saying it will put pressure on them but the pacer will be able to justify it with his performance and experience.

"It's great. The bidding is out of our control. If you compare cricket to other sports, it's great that the best players in the world are paid the most. It's a big achievement, but It also adds pressure. But he (Cummins) and (Starc) can handle that pressure, that's why they were bought for so much money. They are doing very well and are very hot at the moment," Morris told AN. Told to I.
