Australia's legendary fast bowler Mitchell Starc has taken many wickets in international cricket and has troubled many batsmen with his stormy bowling. But Stark will never forget 2024. Especially the dates of 24th June and 27th September have been recorded as dark days for them in the pages of history. Starc, who was badly beaten by Indian captain Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup, had to face a similar situation just 3 months later against England, where Liam Livingston hit a hat-trick of sixes in his single over and scored so many runs. That proved to be the most expensive over in Australia's ODI history.

This was the condition of Starc in the fourth ODI match against England at Lord's on Friday 27 September. Due to rain, this match started late and hence the game was decided for 39-39 overs. In such a situation, England's batsmen needed explosive batting to score maximum runs and the same happened. Ben Duckett and captain Harry Brook played excellent and fast innings but the real show was stolen by power hitter Liam Livingston's explosive batting, the most dangerous scene of which was seen in the last over, when Starc came on target.

Livingston hit sixes, a record was made

Left arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc came to bowl the 39th i.e. the last over of the innings and Livingston hit 4 sixes and 1 four in this over. Livingston hit a very high and long six over long on on the very first ball. It seemed that the ball went on the roof of the stadium. The next ball remained blank but then Livingston hit a hat-trick of sixes on the third, fourth and fifth balls. With this, he completed his half-century in just 25 balls, which is a new record for the fastest ODI fifty at Lord's. Then it was the last ball of the over and on it Livingston scored 4 runs. In this way, a total of 28 runs came from the entire over, which proved to be the most expensive over for Australia in the history of ODI cricket.

Remembered Rohit Sharma

Livingston scored unbeaten 62 runs in just 27 balls, which included 7 sixes and 3 fours. On the basis of his innings, England scored 312 runs in 39 overs. This explosion of Livingston in the last over reminded Indian captain Rohit Sharma. On June 24, during the India-Australia match in the T20 World Cup Super-8 round, Rohit had scored 29 runs including 4 sixes and 1 four in Starc's over. That was also one of the most expensive overs for Australia in T20. About two months before that, Karn Sharma had hit 3 sixes in Starc's over in the IPL.
