The highest-paid player in the history of the Indian Premier League, Mitchell Starc, had some trouble in the 2024 season with the Kolkata Knight Riders, especially when the season wasn’t going as planned for him. However, the pace icon of Australia redeemed himself in the knockout phase of the campaign, delivering match-winning performances with the ball. However, even after KKR had won the title, Starc wasn’t lucky enough to have his salary reminders completely eliminated.
In a chat, Starc admitted being engaged in a cheeky chat with KKR youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who mocked the IPL title-winning prize money. Starc, who got INR 24.75 crore for the 2024 IPL season, saw the entire team get a lower prize money amount (INR 20 crore) unfold in front of him as KKR lifted the title.

In a video that surfaced on social media, he said, "The IPL Final presentation didn't start until midnight and basically killed the vibe. Then checks for the winning team came over; they had an INR 20 crore price. Angkrish (Raghuvanshi) looked at that and said, Huh! It's not even what you got paid.”
