Young Pacer Chetan Sakariya is excited to learn from Australia pacer Mitchell Starc at KKR.
Young left-arm Indian pacer Chetan Sakariya is hoping to learn a lot from Australian pacer Mitchell Starc at the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024. KKR made a notable addition to their squad by acquiring Chetan Sakariya during the IPL 2024 auction. Sakariya is eagerly anticipating the chance to refine his game under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir, seeing this as a pivotal opportunity for his growth and development within the team.
While speaking, Sakariya said, “It’s a great opportunity to share the dressing room with a wicket-taker like Mitchell Starc, who has performed so well for Australia and has picked heaps of wickets in World Cups. I am looking forward to trying to learn as much as possible from him on his thought process and ask him how he picks so many wickets.”
He further added, “It's a ground where, as a batter, you get value for your shots, and as a bowler, you will reap rewards if you hit the right areas and lengths. So it's pretty much an even playing field. I have the experience of playing at the Eden Gardens when it has been a batting paradise as well as when there has been a green pitch. So I believe I am ready for the challenge.”
