IPL 2024: Rinku Singh’s Stellar Batting Display as He Smashes Mitchell Starc for Massive Six and Four in Practice Game- WATCH

A video clip from the practice game has gone viral on social media, where Rinku slammed Starc for a six and then a four. The Australian bowler miscalculated on his yorker, bowling a full throw. Rinku flipped it over midwicket which easily cleared the fence.

Mitchell Starc, Australia’s pace spearhead, will be watched closely when the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 begins later this week. The left-armer returns to the cash-rich league after a decade as the most expensive cricketer in the tournament’s long history. The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) shattered the all-time auction record in Dubai last year by signing him for a hefty Rs 24.75 crore to improve their pace attack, which had been lacking sting in recent years.

The KKR will kick off their season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday, and the players participated in an intra-squad practice match at Eden Gardens. Starc, representing Team Purple in their encounter versus Team Gold, bowled full power with the new ball. However, with Rinku Singh on strike, runs flowed. Starc conceded 20 runs in the final over, finishing 4-0-40-1.

This will be Starc’s first appearance in an IPL season since 2015, when his participation was limited by injury and a desire to focus on his Test career.
