Australia National Cricket Team’s fiery speedster Mitchell Starc has added another special milestone to his celebrated career on Day 1 of the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh National Cricket Team at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on Thursday, August 13.
Starc created history in Test cricket by becoming the highest wicket-taker ever among left-arm bowlers. The Australian fast bowler has achieved the record with his pace, swing, and ability to strike at crucial moments in the traditional format of the game. Earlier, Pat Cummins was asked if he killed Bazball, and he replied, 'Don't really care'.
