Following the loss, fans are blaming Mitchell Starc as he conceded 50 runs in his quota of four overs without any wicket.
Kolkata: It was a heartbreaking loss for the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Tuesday against the Rajasthan Royals as Jos Buttler pulled off a heist. Buttler’s century took the Royals over the line off the final ball off the match. Following the loss, fans are blaming Mitchell Starc as he conceded 50 runs in his quota of four overs without any wicket. Eventually, that proved to be costly and now fans are bashing the KKR management for picking him up at the auction. Fans want KKR to release him after this season.
Here are some of the comments:
I should never see Mitchell Starc in KKR Jersey again easily our worst buy of the year

Buying Mitchell Starc for 25 Crores to waste KKR money and play with fan’s emotions! Most inconsistent team of the year!!!

What a player, even though not completely in form Buttler is still knocking it out🔥
Mitchell Starc is a waste in IPL. Doesn’t even look that he is trying hard.— Saurabh (@Mbatious11) April 16, 2024
Earlier in the day, Narine came good with the bat as he smashed his first ever century in the format. He hit a breathtaking 109 off just 56 balls which helped KKR post a mammoth 223 for six. His innings was laced with 13 boundaries and six hits over the fence.
