KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer confirmed Starc’s unavailability during the toss. “Starcy got a cut on his finger in the last game and Dushmantha Chameera comes in. We want to continue the same form and momentum,” he said.
Kolkata roped in Starc for a whopping sum of 24.75 cr, making him the most expensive signing in IPL history.
Although Starc came into the season with a hefty price tag, his performance has not been up to the mark. He has taken six wickets in seven innings and has an economy of 11.48 which is not ideal for a bowler of his standard.
