Mitchell Starc Completed 700 Wickets in International Cricket
Mitchell Starc has achieved a remarkable milestone by completing 700 wickets in international cricket, solidifying his place among the elite bowlers in the sport. The Australian left-arm pacer reached this landmark during the ongoing Test series against India, becoming the fourth Australian bowler to do so, following legends Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, and Brett Lee.
Starc’s journey to 700 wickets has been characterized by his exceptional skill and consistency across formats. In his international career, he has taken 372 wickets in Test matches, 244 in One Day Internationals (ODIs), and 79 in T20 Internationals (T20Is). His best bowling figures of 6/28 in ODIs and 6/48 in Tests highlight his ability to deliver match-winning performances.
Starc’s effectiveness against top teams, particularly India, is noteworthy; he has claimed 99 wickets against them, just one short of becoming the third Australian to reach 100 wickets against India. His contributions have been pivotal in Australia’s success, including two ICC Cricket World Cup titles. As he continues to perform at a high level, Starc’s legacy as one of Australia’s finest bowlers is firmly established with this significant achievement.
