Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc was involved in a verbal battle with his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammate Harshit Rana on day two of the Perth Test. When Rana bowled a hostile over, Starc weathered the storm, and the two of them shook hands. Starc had been part of KKR when they won the IPL in 2024, especially in the playoffs.
Starc and Rana were one of the most successful opening pairs at KKR, so the involving banter between the two was fun. While the Australian speedster was released by the franchise before the mega auction, he could be bid again during the upcoming mega auction scheduled on November 24 and 25. Rana, in contrast, remained with KKR, and his dismissal against the Australian team only makes him all the more deserving to be in the playing eleven.

Day 2 of the first Test at Perth Stadium has seen tensions flare, giving the Border-Gavaskar Trophy an explosive start. In an exciting match, Australian pace star Mitchell Starc and Indian rookie Harshit Rana traded short balls and abrasive comments.
During the morning session, Rana bowled with great effort, hitting Starc with a flurry of short-pitched deliveries. Rana troubled the Australian bottom order by creating a big bounce off the exciting Perth track as he approached the wicket.
Starc was caught off guard by a well-directed short ball from Rana in the 30th over, which resulted in an edge that missed second slip. The self-assured Indian pacer, who just missed his second Test wicket, put his tongue out in joy. But Starc didn’t hesitate to answer.
“I bowl faster than you,” the left-arm bowler, who is renowned for his spirit of competition, claimed to his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) teammate. I remember things well. Delivered with a smirk, the remark appeared to be both a warning and a promise of payback.
