Kolkata ∙ Former players criticize Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc who has not been in form despite being brought to the Kolkata team by paying a record amount in this year’s IPL star auction. Starc was heavily criticized by Irfan Pathan and Ian Bishop after conceding 50 runs in 4 overs and not taking a wicket against Rajasthan Royals. Starc, who joined the Kolkata side for Rs 24.75 crore, conceded 18 runs in the 18th over against the Royals.

Despite spending crores on the team, Starc has not been able to perform well. Irfan Pathan also asks what is the rationale behind bringing an out-of-form bowler to the team for a huge amount. Pathan Xil noted that the most expensive star should not be the biggest weakness. Ian Bishop says Starc’s performance was not worth the award.

Despite taking 3 wickets against Lucknow Supergiants, Starc’s performance was poor against Rajasthan. Starc was not sensational in giving away extra runs continuously. Starc did not care to bowl backwards. There were no fielders in the square when the hit ball was thrown. They point out that Rajasthan won the match on the last ball and if the bowlers were a little more careful, Kolkata could have won the match.
