Australia`s World Cup-winning pacer Mitchell Starc emerged the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) when Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bought him for a whopping Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL Player Auction at Dubai on Tuesday.
And KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit reckoned that a cricketer of Starc’s stature deserves this price. “There is no doubt that he has that calibre. We needed a match-winning bowler and he perfectly suits that position. He is known to bowl well in the Powerplay and is equally good in the death overs. Obviously, we have confidence in him,” Pandit told mid-day from Dubai on Tuesday.
