Mitchell Starc starred with 7-58 as England were bowled out for 172 in Perth, with debutant Brendan Doggett supporting, leaving visitors struggling in the first Ashes Test.

Perth Test: Starc takes seven as England rolled for 172 in Ashes opener

Mitchell Starc starred with 7-58 as England were bowled out for 172 in Perth, with debutant Brendan Doggett supporting, leaving visitors struggling in the first Ashes Test.

A venomous Mitchell Starc took 7-58 as England were sent packing for just 172 on day one of the first Ashes Test against Australia on Friday, leaving them with a mountain to climb.
Batting after captain Ben Stokes won the toss on a fine day at a packed Perth Stadium, the visitors had few answers to the 35-year-old wreaking ball.
His haul came off 12.5 overs with debutant Brendan Doggett chipping in with 2-27.
Harry Brook (52) and Ollie Pope (46) offered the only resistance as England crumbled after lunch.
Starc bagged three wickets in an intimidating opening spell, including Joe Root for a duck, before returning to send Stokes packing in his first over after the break, then mopping up.
All five previous Tests at the venue have been won by the side batting first, but England did their best to challenge that.
They got off to a horror start, rocked in the opening over after Starc was handed the new ball in his 101st Test.
The veteran strike weapon delivered as he has so many times before, enticing a thick edge from Zak Crawley that Usman Khawaja did well to collect down low at slip, the opener gone for nought.
Starc has now taken a wicket in the first over of an innings 24 times.
At the other end Ben Duckett settled his nerves with a textbook drive off Scott Boland to bank the first four of the series and followed it up with another in the same over.
But just as the left-hander was getting going, Starc pounced again, trapping him lbw for 21 to leave England tottering on 33-2.
That brought Root to the crease in his latest campaign for an elusive first century in Australia.
But he only lasted seven balls, edging a seaming delivery into the safe hands of Marnus Labuschagne at third slip.
Pope survived the furnace and was composed before Cameron Green was brought into the attack and he was out lbw, leaving them on 105-4 at lunch.
Brook hit Boland for a six in the first over after the break before Starc again worked his magic, taking out Stokes's stumps with an inswinger when the captain was on six.
A fearless Brook was unperturbed and raced to his 14th Test half-century, off 58 balls, before feathering a short ball to Alex Carey, earning Doggett his maiden Test wicket on debut.
Starc then removed Gus Atkinson (one) with Steve Smith collecting at slip to give him the 17th five-wicket haul of his career.
Doggett and Starc ruthlessly wrapped up the tail with little resistance.
England, who have not won a series in Australia for 15 years, opted for an all-pace attack with spinner Shoaib Bashir missing out.

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets, reaching his 100th Ashes wicket, while Cameron Green added another as England slumped to 105 for four at lunch on Day 1 of the Ashes series in Perth. Australia dominated after losing the toss.

Ashes 2025: Starc takes three as England falters in Perth

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets, reaching his 100th Ashes wicket, while Cameron Green added another as England slumped to 105 for four at lunch on Day 1 of the Ashes series in Perth. Australia dominated after losing the toss.

Mitchell Starc took three early wickets and Cameron Green snared another as Australia had England in trouble at 105 for four at lunch Friday after the opening session of the Ashes series.
Starc took three wickets for 10 in his first five overs and brought up his 100th career Ashes wicket. It started in the first over, when the veteran left-arm paceman had Zac Crawley caught at slip by Usman Khawaja on the sixth delivery before England had scored a run.
Starc bowled 12 balls without conceding a run before Ollie Pope took three off him to start the fifth over. Ben Duckett (21) was punishing an off-rhythm Scott Boland's half-volleys, punching four boundaries down the ground before Starc trapped him lbw in the seventh over with a full-length ball that hit him in the pads in front of leg stump. Duckett reviewed the decision but tracking technology confirmed the umpire's decision and England was 33-2.
Joe Root, the No. 1-ranked test batter but still searching for his first Ashes century in Australia, faced seven balls before he nicked Starc to Marnus Labuschagne at third slip for a duck and England slumped to 39-3.
The key dismissal gave 35-year-old Starc his 100th Ashes wicket, at an average of 26.65, and gave Australia the ascendancy after losing the toss and being forced to bowl.
A 55-run stand between Pope and Harry Brook gave England some momentum before allrounder Green struck at the end of his first over of bowling in a test match since 2023. Green trapped Pope lbw and again England reviewed the decision, which was upheld by the TV umpire using tracking technology.
The visitors were reeling at 94-4, bringing Ben Stokes to the crease before lunch on Day 1 of the series. Stokes was unbeaten on 4 and Brook was unbeaten on 28 at the first interval.
England's attacking intent is regulation &ldquo;Bazball&rdquo; under Brendon McCullum's coaching. The team batting first has won all five tests played at Perth Stadium &mdash; which replaced the WACA as the Western Australian capital's test venue &mdash; and that was a heavy factor in Stokes deciding to bat after winning the toss, going against his preferred option of bowling first and chasing.
The English, trying to win a test in Australia for the first time since 2010-11, opted for an all-pace attack led by Jofra Archer and 35-year-old Mark Wood.
Australia has won 13 and drawn two of its last 15 Ashes tests in Australia. Regular skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are missing the first test because of injuries, opening the way for Brendan Doggett to make his test debut and become the third Indigenous Australian man to play test cricket.
Doggett bowled alongside Scott Boland, making it the first time two Indigenous Australians have played in the same test lineup. He troubled Pope in his first over and had figures of 0-17 in his first spell in test cricket.
Boland struggled for line and length and was unusually expensive, returning 0-39 from seven overs.

Mitchell Starc makes a comeback to Australia’s 15-member ODI squad for the India series starting October 19.

Starc returns to Australia ODI squad for home series against India

Mitchell Starc Joins Australia for India ODI Series

Mitchell Starc makes a comeback to Australia&rsquo;s 15-member ODI squad for the India series starting October 19.

Fast bowler Mitchell Starc returned to the Australian ODI squad for the three-match home series against India starting on October 19 where Mitchell Marsh will continue to captain in the absence of Pat Cummins, who is recuperating from a back injury.
Starc, who retired from T20 internationals last month, sat out the home ODI series against South Africa in August after returning from the West Indies Test tour. With his workload being carefully managed ahead of the Ashes, Starc last played an ODI in November 2024 in Adelaide against Pakistan.
Alongside uncapped batter Matthew Renshaw, Matt Short and Mitch Owen, Starc is one of four inclusions to Australia's 15-strong ODI squad which lost 1-2 to the Proteas.
Short also missed the last series with a side strain and Owen was concussed in the T20I leg against South Africa.
Marsh will continue to captain the ODI team in the absence of Cummins, who is continuing his recovery from lumbar bone stress in preparation for the Ashes.
The selectors also named a 14-member team under Marsh for the first two T20Is that follow the ODIs against India as the side continue their buildup to next year's T20 World Cup.
Alex Carey will miss the first match of the ODI series in Perth to play the second round of Sheffield Shield against Queensland at the Adelaide Oval, having missed the opening game through his call-up to the New Zealand tour.
Josh Inglis comes back into the T20 squad following a minor calf injury along with Nathan Ellis who attended the birth of his first child. Glenn Maxwell is still unavailable due to the fracture he suffered to his wrist on the tour to New Zealand.
Cameron Green will continue his preparation for the Test summer with Western Australia following the ODI leg of the Indian series.
Chair of Selectors George Bailey said: "We have named a squad for the ODI series and first two games of the T20 series as there will be some management through the back end of the series as individuals prepare for the summer through Sheffield Shield cricket.
"The majority of the T20 squad will remain together as it's an important period in the build towards the World Cup next year, however we are trying to strike a balance to ensure we simultaneously prepare certain individuals for the Test series ahead." The first ODI will be played in Perth on October 19 while the second and third matches will be held on October 23 (Adelaide) and October 25 (Sydney).
After that, the five matches of the T20I series will be played on October 29 (Canberra), October 31 (Melbourne), November 2 (Hobart), November 6 (Gold Coast) and November 8 (Brisbane).

Australia pacer Mitchell Starc has retired from T20 internationals to prioritize Test cricket and ODIs. The 35-year-old, second-highest T20I wicket-taker for Australia, aims to stay fit for the Ashes and 2027 ODI World Cup.

Mitchell Starc Retires from T20 Cricket to Focus on Tests and ODIs

Mitchell Starc Retires from T20 International Cricket

Australia pacer Mitchell Starc has retired from T20 internationals to prioritize Test cricket and ODIs. The 35-year-old, second-highest T20I wicket-taker for Australia, aims to stay fit for the Ashes and 2027 ODI World Cup.

Veteran Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc has retired from Twenty20 international cricket in a bid to extend his career in the Tests and ODI formats.
Starc and Test skipper Pat Cummins, two members of Australia's long-serving pace bowling triumvirate, were missing from the national T20 squad announced Tuesday for a three-game series in New Zealand starting Oct. 1.
The 35-year-old Starc, who took 79 wickes in 65 T20 internationals for Australia, said Test cricket was his priority and he needed to prepare for an intense international schedule over the next two years.
Cummins has been rested since the test series in the Caribbean last month and has experienced some lower back pain, limiting his preparation for the Ashes series against England starting in November.
Starc wants to be at full fitness for the Ashes and test series in India next year and the next ODI World Cup in 2027, and decided something had to give.
"I have loved every minute of every T20 game I have played for Australia, particularly the 2021 World Cup &mdash; not just because we won but the incredible group and the fun along the way," he said.
"Looking ahead (T20 retirement) is my best way forward to remain fresh, fit and at my best for those campaigns.
"It also gives the bowling group time to prepare for the T20 World Cup in the matches leading into that tournament." Starc has been instrumental in Australia's success, and is second on the list of all-time wicket-takers for the national team in the T20 format. The left-arm paceman's full-length deliveries have cemented his reputation as a strike bowler.
"Mitch should be incredibly proud of his T20 career for Australia. He was an integral member of the 2021 World Cup winning side and, as across all his cricket, had a great skill for blowing games open with his wicket taking ability," Australia selection chairman George Bailey said.
"We will acknowledge and celebrate his T20 career at the right time, but pleasingly he remains focused on continuing to play test and ODI cricket for a long as possible."&nbsp;

Several star cricketers, including Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc, have been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to injuries. Australia suffers the biggest setback with five key players missing.

Champions Trophy 2025: Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins among top players ruled out

Several star cricketers, including Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc, have been ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to injuries. Australia suffers the biggest setback with five key players missing.

The 2025 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy is set to take place from February 19 to March 9 across three venues in Pakistan (Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi) and one in Dubai.&nbsp;
However, ahead of the prestigious eight-team tournament, the event has lost some of its shine due to injury concerns plaguing several top players worldwide.
More than half a dozen key players have already been ruled out, dampening the excitement of the tournament&rsquo;s return after eight years.
Here&rsquo;s a look at the top players who will miss the Champions Trophy 2025:
Jasprit Bumrah (India): Star Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025 on February 12 due to a lower back injury.

Marcus Stoinis (Australia): Experienced Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis will not take part in the Champions Trophy 2025 after suddenly announcing his retirement from international cricket just weeks before the tournament. His unexpected departure further weakens the Australian squad, which is already dealing with multiple injury setbacks.
Anrich Nortje (South Africa): South African fast bowler Anrich Nortje, who last played a 50-over match for the Proteas on September 9, 2023, against Australia in Bloemfontein, was initially named in the Champions Trophy 2025 squad.
However, he was ruled out on January 15 due to a back injury. MI Cape Town all-rounder Corbin Bosch was announced as his replacement on February 9.
Gerald Coetzee (South Africa): South African fast bowler Gerald Coetzee has also been ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025. The 23-year-old, known for his pace and aggressive bowling, suffered a groin injury during a domestic match in January, forcing him to miss the tournament.
Jacob Bethell (England): England&rsquo;s 21-year-old batting all-rounder Jacob Bethell will miss the Champions Trophy 2025 due to a hamstring injury.
He sustained the injury while playing in the first ODI of the ongoing three-match series against India at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on February 6.
Saim Ayub (Pakistan): Young Pakistani opening batter Saim Ayub was not included in the Men in Green&rsquo;s 15-member squad for the Champions Trophy due to an ankle injury.
He suffered the injury while playing in the second Test of the away series against South Africa in Cape Town last month.
Allah Ghazanfar (Afghanistan): 18-year-old Afghan spinner Allah Ghazanfar, who has 21 wickets in 11 ODIs, was ruled out of the Champions Trophy on Wednesday due to a fracture in the L4 vertebra, specifically in the left pars interarticularis.
He sustained the injury during Afghanistan&rsquo;s recent tour of Zimbabwe and will be sidelined for at least four months.
&nbsp;
With these key players missing, the tournament landscape has undoubtedly shifted, presenting opportunities for new stars to emerge on the global stage. However, fans and teams alike will feel the absence of these top-tier cricketers.
Australia has suffered the most setbacks, with five of their star players ruled out of the tournament, significantly impacting their squad depth and performance prospects.

Mitchell Starc has withdrawn from the ICC Champions Trophy due to personal reasons, dealing a blow to Australia’s campaign. Steve Smith takes charge of a reshuffled squad as the team faces multiple injury setbacks ahead of the tournament.

Mitchell Starc withdraws from ICC Champions Trophy; Steve Smith leads reshuffled Australia squad

Mitchell Starc has withdrawn from the ICC Champions Trophy due to personal reasons, dealing a blow to Australia&rsquo;s campaign. Steve Smith takes charge of a reshuffled squad as the team faces multiple injury setbacks ahead of the tournament.

Mitchell Starc has opted out of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy due to personal reasons, prompting Australia to make key adjustments to their 15-player squad led by Steve Smith.&nbsp;
This withdrawal adds to the team's challenges, as they were already grappling with injuries to Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Marsh. With the tournament set to commence on February 19 in Pakistan and the UAE, Australia faces a depleted pace attack.
The left-arm pacer, who has requested privacy regarding his decision, had shown signs of discomfort during the latter stages of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle. Acknowledging Starc&rsquo;s contribution, chair of selectors George Bailey expressed his support for the decision.&nbsp;
"We understand and respect Mitch's decision," Bailey said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. "Mitch [Starc] is deeply respected for his commitment to international cricket and the priority he places on performing for Australia," he added. "His well-documented ability to play through pain and adversity, as well as forgoing opportunities in other parts of his career to put his country first should be applauded. His loss is of course a blow for the Champions Trophy campaign but does provide an opportunity to someone else to make a mark on the tournament," he stated.
With Steve Smith taking over as captain in the absence of Cummins and Marsh, Australia has made several squad reinforcements. Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Spencer Johnson, and Tanveer Sangha have been drafted into the team, while Cooper Connolly will travel as a reserve player.&nbsp;
Fraser-McGurk, despite an ODI average of 17.40 from five matches, made an impression in the Big Bash League (BBL) with a 95 off 46 balls for the Melbourne Renegades.&nbsp;
Johnson, a left-arm pacer, is a like-for-like replacement for Starc but is yet to claim a wicket in his two ODI appearances. Sangha, who was already with the Test squad in Sri Lanka as a development player, will partner with Adam Zampa as the team's second frontline spinner.
Commenting on the changes, Bailey noted the squad's evolving composition. "The squad has changed significantly over the past month on the back of some untimely injuries and the retirement of Marcus Stoinis," he said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. "The upside of that is that we have been able to call on players who have had international exposure and success over the past 12 months," he added.&nbsp;
"A strong core of some our most experienced players will provide a strong foundation in our attempt to win this edition of the Champions Trophy. We have a range of options to shape the playing XI within the tournament depending on the opposition and conditions we face," he stated.
As part of their preparations, Australia will play two ODIs against Sri Lanka in Colombo on February 12 and 14 before kicking off their Champions Trophy campaign against England on February 22. They will then face South Africa on February 25 and Afghanistan on February 28.
Australia Champions Trophy squad: Steve Smith (c), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Aaron Hardie, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matthew Short, Adam Zampa.

To a query from PTI as to how he would take it up from here after his best year in franchise cricket, Starc hinted that T20s could gain prominence in his roster.

Mitchell Starc to retire from one format? Australian pacer hints at prioritising franchise cricket

To a query from PTI as to how he would take it up from here after his best year in franchise cricket, Starc hinted that T20s could gain prominence in his roster.

After resisting the lure of lucrative private leagues for almost a decade because of his commitment towards the 'Baggy Green', Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has hinted that he might quit one format to make room for more franchise cricket in his schedule.
While the 34-year-old didn't specify the format he intends to give up, it is likely to be ODIs considering that the next 50-over World Cup is in 2027.
Starc, who was bought for a record 24.75 crore by Kolkata Knight Riders, was magnificent in the business end of the tournament. He ended up with 17 wickets, including five in the two knock-out games, to engineer a dominant title triumph for the Shah Rukh Khan-owned team.
To a query from PTI as to how he would take it up from here after his best year in franchise cricket, Starc hinted that T20s could gain prominence in his roster.
"For the last nine years, I certainly prioritised Australian cricket. I have pulled out often to have a chance to give my body a break and spend some time away from cricket with my wife as well, so that's certainly been where my head has been for last nine years," Starc said after his match-winning 2/14 in the IPL final against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
"Moving forward, I am certainly close to the end of my career than the start. One format may be dropped off as there is long time till next World Cup and whether that format drops off or not, that will open doors for a lot of franchise cricket," the 'King of Swing' said.
He mentioned that this year's IPL will help him in preparing for the T20 World Cup in West Indies starting June 1.
"...that's the other side of benefit of being here, some amazing players in an amazing tournament and great lead up to WT20 and success has been fantastic. It is great that a lot of players are in good position heading into the World Cup," he said.
He is hopeful of turning up for KKR even next year.
"I don't know the schedule exactly but I have thoroughly enjoyed and hope to be back next year and hopefully, seen in purple and gold again."&nbsp;

Mitchell Starc answers price-tag critics with the ball; helps KKR win IPL 2024

<h2>Starc picked up 17 wickets in IPL 2024 with 4/33 being his best figures against the Mumbai Indians</h2>

Kolkata Knight Riders' decision to go all in for Mitchell Starc in IPL auction raised a few eyebrows, with many experts questioning them for spending ₹24.75 crore for someone who a few believed was well past his prime.
But seeing the KKR management pleased after getting him in their squad made it evident that they wanted Starc at any cost.
Gautam Gambhir backed the Aussie pacer like his own. In the lead-up to the tournament, the KKR mentor called Starc their X-factor and said that &nbsp;he was 'someone who can bowl with the new ball, bowl in the death overs and more importantly, someone who can lead the attack.&rdquo;
KKR also found themselves in the fans' line of fire when Starc didn't live up to his billing at the start of the IPL.
Starc looked rusty to start with and conceded 100 runs without taking any wickets from his 8 overs in the first two matches.
However, KKR CEO Venky Mysore came out in his defence and then said, "He's a superstar and he's a quality player. His presence in the lineup adds a different dynamic to the team."
Then began Starc's resurrection. The veteran pacer found form from thereon and it peaked as IPL approached the business end.
The 34-year-old picked up 17 wickets in IPL 2024 with 4/33 being his best figures against the Mumbai Indians.

They say that big players perform on big occasions and it was the Mitchell Starc show in the IPL playoffs. After picking up 3 wickets in Qualifier 1 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Starc rattled them once again in the final by clinching 2 wickets. Interestingly, he set the tone in both those games by taking a wicket in his very first over.
KKR's campaign may be remembered more for their explosive opening partnerships or their spin twins spinning their web of destruction but Starc's super show with the ball was probably the difference when it came to big games.

Starc used the juice to his advantage to swing the ball from middle-and-leg stump and hit Sharma's off stick with a dream delivery.

Abhishek was in red-hot form and had smashed 484 runs in IPL 2024. The onus of giving the Sunrisers a solid start was on his shoulders but Starc had other plans.
His partner in crime, Travis Head is having a torrid time in the playoffs as he was sent back for a golden duck by Vaibhav Arora in the 2nd over of the game.
Shreyas Iyer trusted Starc and gave him his 3rd over in the powerplay itself and he got another wicket to dismiss Rahul Tripathi for 9.
Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first against Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL final here on Sunday.
The Hyderabad side made one change from the last match, bringing in Shahbaz Ahmed in place of Abdul Samad, while KKR retained their eleven from Qualifier 1.

Is Mitchell Starc injured? Ramandeep Singh gives a huge update | IPL 2024, KKR vs PBKS

As Mitchell Starc indulged in just light training sessions ahead of the KKR vs PBKS game, Ramandeep Singh gave a huge update on the star pacer's fitness.

Starc reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Mitchell Starc has no injury concern and is "available" for selection, Kolkata Knight Riders all-rounder Ramandeep Singh clarified even as the star pacer indulged in just light training sessions ahead of their IPL clash against Punjab Kings.
The Australian cricketer, who attracted a record bid, did not have the kind of return to the league after eight years he would have hoped as he has leaked plenty of runs this season and has managed just six wickets.
The left-arm quick also reportedly sustained a finger injury on his bowling hand during their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Starc did not bowl at the nets in their two practice sessions ahead of their match against PBKS, while Sri Lankan pacer Dushmantha Chameera was seen slogging it out, fuelling speculation that the Aussie may be "rested".
But Ramandeep said Starc was available for selection.
"Yes, he's available. It's got to do with his workload management," Ramandeep said. "He is a legend. Cricket is a game of time. We can't judge him from a few matches," he said.
With Starc going through a poor patch, the bowling unit has come under pressure but Ramandeep said, "There has been no discussion on bowling." "We just discus about execution and plan and how to improve further. We don't' judge someone in one or two matches." With five wins in seven matches, KKR occupy the second spot in the 10-team table and are well placed to finish in top-two.
"We are going for one game at a time. We are just focused on Punjab match, not thinking about finishing top two at the moment," Ramandeep said.
He further credited team mentor Gautam Gambhir for their consistent show this season.
"Everyone has a lot of clarity. It's only because of him the team is performing so well. He is backing everyone," he said.&nbsp;

Starc's rustiness in the T20 format came to the fore as he conceded 100 runs without taking any wickets from his eight overs in the first two matches.

Mitchell Starc is a superstar, don't think of him from investment standpoint: KKR CEO Venky Mysore

Under scrutiny for his poor show in the ongoing season, IPL's costliest buy Mitchell Starc on Monday received the backing of Kolkata Knight Riders' managing director and CEO Venky Mysore

Starc's rustiness in the T20 format came to the fore as he conceded 100 runs without taking any wickets from his eight overs in the first two matches.

Under scrutiny for his poor show in the ongoing season, IPL's costliest buy Mitchell Starc on Monday received the backing of Kolkata Knight Riders' managing director and CEO Venky Mysore, who said they don't think of him from an "investment standpoint".
KKR had bought Starc for a record Rs 24.75 crore but it always came with a caveat as the Aussie left-arm quick had limited experience in the shortest format and was making a comeback to IPL after nine years.
"He's a superstar and he's a quality player," Mysore said on the sideline of the Knight Golf event at RCGC.
"We don't think of it from an investment standpoint, because you go to the auction and things happen in the auction, which is not in the hands of the player, nor is it in the hands of anybody else.
"We just felt that an addition to the team like Mitchell Starc would add a lot of value, which it has. I mean, his presence in the lineup adds a different dynamic to the team, and there were specific skills that the support staff were looking for. So, we think we had that."
Starc's rustiness in the T20 format came to the fore as he conceded 100 runs without taking any wickets from his eight overs in the first two matches.
It turned from bad to worse on Sunday when he leaked 54 runs from 16 balls at Eden Gardens, and in the final over, RCB No. 9 Karn Sharma with little batting pedigree smashed him for three sixes in four balls.
Starc, however, managed to salvage some pride taking a low return catch to dismiss Karn that eventually sealed a dramatic one-run victory.
"There are times when games are up and down. Everybody gets taken to the cleaners at times, and there are other times they come and just do their thing and win games for the team. So we're super happy having him in the setup," Mysore said.
With five wins from seven matches at the halfway mark, the second-placed KKR look like a transformed side under mentor and two-time title-winning former captain Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir, who last represented the side in 2017, returned to his former franchise as a team mentor, relinquishing the same position at Lucknow Super Giants this season.
Mysore said Gambhir has added a lot of "weight" to the side.
"I think the consistency that is shown, I think we look like a more balanced and settled side this year. Needless to say, Gautam (Gambhir) coming in adds a lot of weight purely from the intensity that he brings, the experience that he brings.
"The winning attitude, I mean, he and Chandu (head coach Chandrakant Pandit) are both very, very determined and very desperate to win.
"They have a great support staff around them. So, I think sometimes these things all have to come together. It's very difficult to pinpoint one thing and say, this is what made the difference. But very happy with where we are right now, so fingers crossed," Mysore said.

His current team looks in stellar shape so far but if he were to strike form, Kolkata could nearly be invincible as a bowling powerhouse. 

Mitchell Starc, the biggest buy in IPL history, is yet to take a wicket in 2024 edition | KKR

His current team looks in stellar shape so far but if he were to strike form, Kolkata could nearly be invincible as a bowling powerhouse.&nbsp;

Nine years after his IPL stint with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mitchell Starc returned to the cash-rich league with a massive bang in 2024.&nbsp; At the December mini-auction, the Australian pace sensation was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders at an astronomical price of ₹24.75 crore, making him the costliest-ever buy in the league's history.&nbsp; And naturally, the franchise hoped for some gains. But two games in, the left-armer has failed to capitalise on his opportunities.&nbsp; KKR have won both the matches but without any worthy contributions from the legendary bowler.&nbsp;
Instead, he has conceded innumerable runs and now his figure reads something like this : 8-0-100-0.&nbsp; He has conceded 100 runs across two outings without a single maiden to his credit. His economy rate also appears deplorable at 12.50.&nbsp; And wickets? None. Nada. Zero. Zilch.&nbsp; Interestingly, this performance is not even marginally close to the two seasons he played with RCB.&nbsp; In the two seasons, he took a total of 34 wickets, while also registering his to-date best IPL figures of 4/15. His economy rate too was half of what it is in 2024.&nbsp; His current team looks in stellar shape so far but if he were to strike form, Kolkata could nearly be invincible as a bowling powerhouse.&nbsp;

Starc was also bought by KKR in the 2018 IPL auction but the Aussie pacer had to pull out of the season due to a right leg injury.

I look to keep playing after this, but I don't doubt that I won't be making the next World Cup. I've no vision for that: Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc confirms Cricket World Cup 2023 will be his last | Australia vs South Africa

Mitchell Starc was asked about his retirement plans ahead of World Cup semifinal against South Africa and the Aussie pacer confirmed that this World Cup will be his last.

I look to keep playing after this, but I don't doubt that I won't be making the next World Cup. I've no vision for that: Mitchell Starc

'Australia tend to peak at the right time' said Mitchell Starc on Monday as he remains confident going into their semifinal against South Africa in the Cricket World Cup on Thursday.
'It's World Cups, which is what we play for with the pointy end, (we) seem to be peaking at the right time, which Australia tend to do in tournament play. And whilst we didn't start the way we wanted to, we've certainly had a lot of good contributions from individuals along the way and we find ourselves in another World Cup semi-final,' Starc stated.
Despite suffering back-to-back defeats at the beginning of their campaign to hosts India and South Africa, the five-time world champions finished third to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament for the ninth time.
'I think looking back at (20)15, we probably thought that was the only team that could beat us. Certainly at that stage of the tournament and we didn't play them. So it's funny how, you know, now that we've played everyone and obviously they had the better of us in Lucknow early on in the tournament. We've probably both teams have kept a close eye on each other and sort of from, you know, a few games back, we knew were probably going to face each other in the semi-final. So yeah, whether they feel differently, you know, it's obviously been spoken about outside of their group. I don't know whether it's (been) inside, but they've had passed players talk about it. I know they're a very different group to certainly to (back in) 2015. So you can always read into to these things as much as you like. For us it's certainly talking and thinking about what we can do the right way or how we can approach it or our mindset to it rather than and what they're going to do so much so.'
The Aussie pacer was also asked about his retirement plans and though Starc confirmed that this World Cup will be his last, he won't retire after the tournament.
'No, I look to keep playing after this, but I don't doubt that I won't be making the next World Cup. I've no vision for that. Four years is a long time. I've always maintained that that's history. It's definitely at the top of the tree for me and I'll drop off the rest before I let go of test cricket or where my body's at. So yeah, for me it's just another semi-final or another one day game for Australia,' he confirmed.

<h2>Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc says his priority is to play for Australia rather than going for IPL money.</h2>

Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has said that playing cricket for Australia is way more important for him than the IPL money. The left-arm pacer stated that his main goal is to keep himself at the best possible level while playing for the Aussies and that not playing in the IPL&nbsp; hasn't really bothered him.
In an interview with The Guardian, Starc said, &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t regret any of it, money will come and go but I&rsquo;m very grateful for the opportunities I&rsquo;ve had. Over a hundred years of Test cricket and there&rsquo;s been less than 500 men who have played it for Australia, that in itself makes it very special to be a part of it."
The left-arm pacer last played in the cash-rich league back in 2015 when he represented the Royal Challengers Bangalore. However, the Aussie hasn't dismissed a return to the competition.
He added, "I'd certainly love to play in the IPL again, but my goal for a long time has been to be at my best for Australia, no matter the format."&nbsp;
