IPL 2024: Head’s Wicket Reminded Me Of Starc Bowling To McCullum In 2015 WC, Says Watson
Kolkata Knight Riders: Mitchell Starc castling Travis Head for a golden duck to set the base for Kolkata Knight Riders’ eight-wicket win in IPL 2024 Qualifier 1 reminded former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson of how the left-arm fast-bowler dismissed Brendon McCullum in the 2015 ODI World Cup final.
At the Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday, after dismissing Head with the one coming back in sharply on the second ball of the game, Starc proceeded to take out Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed on consecutive balls in the fifth over to rattle SRH in the power-play.
After SRH were bowled out for 160 in 19.3 overs, KRR chased down the total with 6.2 overs to spare. "It reminded me of Mitchell Starc bowling to Brendon McCullum in the 2015 World Cup at the MCG, just pegs everywhere, getting the key man out. That's just what he does. He stands up when he needs to and that was a big moment in the game, knowing how devastating Travis Head has been in this TATA IPL... That was a beautiful delivery," said Watson to JioCinema.
