Mitchell Starc has had very fond memories with Gautam Gambhir during IPL 2024. The Australian speedster was bought by KKR for a whopping 24.75 crore in the auction.
Starc didn’t have the easiest group phase but he shone at the right time when it mattered the most. Gambhir led KKR to two IPL titles in 2012 and 2014 as a captain and he further stamped his authority as he mentored KKR to a third IPL title in 2024.
The former Indian opener then was handed the baton of the Indian Cricket Team and had a pretty successful outing so far. Gambhir’s toughest challenge is hovering on the horizon as the Indian team is scheduled to visit Australia to take part in a five match Test series.
The upcoming Border-Gavaskar trophy will shape India’s World Test Championship future as positive results could see them secure a place in the WTC final for the third time running.
Ahead of the BGT, Starc heaped praises on Gambhir pointing out his qualities which have made him one of a kind.
While speaking on Star Sports he said, “I mean, speaking from my experience at Kolkata, he is a fantastic thinker of the game.
“He's always thinking about the opponent and how to get them out as a bowling attack or how to score runs as a batting attack.”
“It's not just individual players, it's always about the team focus and how to get on top of little things that he might see in techniques or in a field placement or anything like that,” continued the left-arm bowler.
India will now face New Zealand in a three match Test series starting from October 16 in Bengaluru. The hosts showed a dominating display against Bangladesh on home soil and they are expected to replicate their form against the Kiwis.
