Kolkata Knight Riders registered their fourth win of IPL 2024 season in five outings on Sunday (April 14) beating Lucknow Super Giants comfortably. They chased down 162 runs with eight wickets and more than four overs in hand even as Phil Salt starred with the bat for them. Another overseas recruit Mitchell Starc finally had a good day at the office as he picked up three wickets for just 28 runs in his four overs.
Prior to this match, Starc had picked only two wickets in four matches but the left-arm pacer looked at his best for the first time against LSG. He is the most expensive player of IPL ever with KKR splurging INR 24.75 crore at the auction for him. But his average of 77 and an economy of 11 before the start of LSG clash drew criticism. But the 34-year-old isn’t worried much about all of that and is concentrating on his own game.
