5 Possible Replacements for Mitchell Starc in IPL 2018
In what is sure to be a big blow for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Starc has been ruled out of the IPL owing to a 'tibial bone stress' in his right leg.
4. Tymal Mills
IPL 2017 saw Tymal Mills’s name spread like wildfire in every household when he was notched up by the RCB side for one of the top bids of the season; a whopping sum of INR 12 crores! Although he had an average run in that particular season of the tournament with 5 wickets in 5 matches, England’s Mills is a quality pacer and KKR would know better than to not ponder over the option of giving him a call-up. Armed with exceptional pace and ample of experience in T20 leagues, Mills is an ideal contender for Starc’s position.
What gives an edge to Tymal Mills is the abundance of expertise he has when it comes to bowling in T20 leagues. Be it the Pakistan Super League (PSL), the Big Bash League (BBL) or the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), he has participated in all. His ability to generate raw pace off the wicket will be sure to help KKR, who’ll be more than happy to accommodate a firework fast bowler into the team.
