Australian cricket star Mitchell Starc has etched his name in the annals of cricket history by clinching his 50th wicket in World Cup matches. This significant feat was achieved during the highly anticipated match between Australia and India at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Starc, known for his lethal bowling prowess, was poised at 49 wickets in the World Cup record just before the commencement of the match. However, it didn't take him long to etch his name into the record books. With a scintillating performance, Starc secured his 50th wicket in just 18 innings, making it the fastest achievement in the esteemed 48-year-old World Cup tournament.

In the midst of this milestone, Starc claimed the early wicket of Indian batsman Ishan Kishan, who departed with a first-ball duck. The impact of this crucial wicket was palpable, putting the Indian side under considerable pressure. The Australian team, putting up a formidable performance, managed to amass a total of 199 runs in their allotted 50 overs.

As the match unfolded, the dismissal of Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer for zero further compounded India's predicament, leaving them in a precarious position with only 32 runs on the board for the loss of three wickets in the 11th over.
