One of the deadliest left-arm pacers of modern cricket, Mitchell Starc, has announced his retirement from T20 International cricket—bringing an end to a fiery chapter filled with speed, swing, and unforgettable spells.
Known for his thunderbolts that often crossed 150 kmph, Starc wasn’t just a bowler—he was a nightmare for batters around the globe. From ripping through top orders to delivering inch-perfect yorkers at the death, he defined what it meant to be a match-winner in the shortest format.
His most iconic moment came in the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, where his breakthroughs helped Australia clinch their maiden T20 World Cup title. Across his career, Starc combined raw pace with pinpoint accuracy, making him one of the most feared T20 bowlers of his era.
While Starc’s T20I journey ends here, fans can still witness his magic in ODIs and Test cricket, where he continues to spearhead Australia’s pace attack with the same passion and fire.
As the curtains fall on his T20I career, Starc leaves behind a legacy of aggression, consistency, and unforgettable memories. The cricket world tips its hat to the Aussie speedster who truly redefined left-arm pace bowling. 💛💚
