"My Plan Hasn't Changed For 13 Years": Mitchell Starc After Second ODI Heroics

Mitchell Starc played a key role in orchestrating India's worst defeat in the second ODI match at YS Raja Reddy Cricket Stadium. Starc showed signs of his best when picking up the superb figures of 5/53 in a Player of the Match performance in Australia's 10-wicket romp over India in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. He now has eight scalps in total from the opening two matches of the three-game series. The pacer's ability to strike during the Powerplay has been on show in India, with four of Starc's wickets in the pivotal second match of the series coming during a blistering opening spell that put the hosts immediately on the back foot after they were sent into bat first by stand-in Australia captain Steve Smith.
