Under scrutiny for his poor show in the ongoing season, IPL’s costliest buy Mitchell Starc on Monday received the backing of Kolkata Knight Riders’s (KKR) managing director and CEO Venky Mysore, who said they don’t think of him from an “investment standpoint”.
KKR had bought Starc for a record R24.75 crore, but it always came with a caveat as the Aussie left-arm quick had limited experience in the shortest format and was making a comeback to IPL after nine years. “He’s a superstar and he’s a quality player,” Mysore said on the sidelines of Knight Golf event at RCGC here.
