With high hopes pinned on him, Starc's return to the IPL after nearly nine years is generating immense buzz. Previously, he had showcased his skills during stints with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2014 and 2015, amassing a commendable tally of 34 wickets across 27 matches.

At 34 years old, Starc's experience and skill make him a formidable asset for KKR as they aim for their third IPL title under the leadership of captain Shreyas Iyer and mentor Gautam Gambhir.

KKR's journey in IPL 2024 kicks off with an opening match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23 at Eden Gardens.

As the countdown to IPL 2024 begins, fans are eagerly anticipating Starc's performance on the field, hoping that his intense training sessions will translate into success for KKR.
