Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has revealed that his game plan of bowling full and hitting the stumps in Powerplay overs has remained unchanged for the past 13 years. This tactic has served him well and helped him claim 219 ODI wickets for his country from just over 100 matches. Starc’s ability to swing the new ball and make inroads early in an innings has been on show in India, where he picked up a fifer in the second ODI against India.

Starc’s performance has helped Australia take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series against India. The left-armer’s ability to take wickets in the Powerplay has been instrumental in controlling the game against a powerful Indian batting unit. Starc’s performance in India is a testament to his skill and experience, having already played in two 50-over World Cup campaigns.

The 33-year-old pacer is determined to add to his already imposing record and add a second title to the one he won at home in 2015 in the event that is scheduled to take place at the end of this year. With Australia scheduled to play just nine more ODI matches prior to the start of the World Cup, Starc is determined to claim an early mental edge by helping his side to a series triumph in India.

Moving forward, Starc is focused on the decider in Chennai, where Australia has a chance to win a one-day series in India, which is pretty special. While the World Cup will be in the back of his mind, the pacer believes that the team needs to remain focused on the task at hand and not get ahead of themselves.

In conclusion, Starc’s performance in the IND vs AUS series highlights the importance of having a consistent game plan and executing it well. Starc’s ability to swing the ball and take wickets in the Powerplay has been instrumental in Australia’s success in India. The pacer’s experience and determination will undoubtedly be crucial for Australia’s chances in the upcoming World Cup.
