India faces the challenge of Australia in the T20 World Cup 2024. After losing to Afghanistan, Australia is like a wounded lion. In such a situation, it will come on the field even more dangerously. It is reported that with the intention of defeating Team India, they are going to give a chance to Mitchell Starc by keeping one of their spinners out. Starc did not play the last match against Afghanistan. But, he will play in this match because left-arm fast bowlers are a big weakness of Indian captain Rohit Sharma.

If Mitchell Starc plays, which is expected, then this match between India and Australia is going to be very interesting. How Team India will start batting will largely depend on how Rohit Sharma plays left-handed Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc in the opening.

In the year 2024, left-arm bowlers got out 9 times

Rohit Sharma's performance against left-arm fast bowlers has not been anything special this year. In the year 2024, Rohit has been out 9 times against left-arm bowlers in T20 cricket so far. Out of this, 3 times he has become a victim of left-handed batsmen only during the T20 World Cup 2024. Whereas from the beginning of his career till the year 2016, Rohit has been out 16 times in T20 cricket against left-arm bowlers.

Will feeding Starc be effective?

After seeing Rohit's performance against left-handed bowlers, Australia is planning to play Mitchell Starc. But will this plan succeed? To know this, it is important to see the record between Rohit and Starc.

Rohit Vs Starc in T20

In T20 cricket, Rohit has played 5 innings against Starc, in which he has scored 23 runs in 16 balls. During this period, Starc has taken Rohit's wicket only once. Starc has got this only success against Rohit in T20 International. In 2 innings of T20 International, Rohit has scored 4 runs in 5 balls against Starc.

Now, in overall T20, Rohit may seem to be better than Starc. But, when it comes to T20 International, Starc seems to have an edge. However, in cricket, every day, every match is new. In such a situation, whether Starc becomes Rohit's hunter or his prey, it will be known only during the match.
