“Thrilled to be joining KKR”: Mitchell Starc
Mitchell Starc broke all-time record by being the most expensive player at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction. Starc created history for the highest-ever bidding after he was bought for INR 24.75 crore by Kolkata Knight Riders. Mitchell Starc’s bid had shattered the record set by Pat Cummins, a little while back in Tuesday’s auction when he was bought for INR 20.5 crore by Sunrisers Hyderabad. There was a huge bidding war when Starc’s name was up for auction. But, KKR prevailed to take Mitchell Starc. Speaking to JioCinema, Mitchell Starc talked about being the most expensive player at the IPL auction.
“It’s been a little while since I’ve been involved, but I’m really excited to get my name in the auction and to be joining KKR this upcoming season. So, yeah, thrilled to be joining,” said Starc while speaking on JioCinema.
“Yeah, it was a shock, if you call it. But, my wife, Alyssa Healy, is actually over in India with the women’s team.”
“And I think their coverage was slightly ahead of mine in Australia. So, I was getting updates before I could see it on the screen. So, yeah, just as I said, pretty well, surprised, but thrilled to be back involved in the IPL this upcoming season. And, yeah, really excited to be joining KKR,” he said.
