AI predicts Mitchell Starc’s IPL 2025 team and final bid price

Pacer Mitchell Starc returned to the Indian Premier League (IPL) last season after a nine-year break. He was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a whopping INR 24.75 crore, making him the most expensive player in the history of the IPL. However, the left-arm sailor was released before the auction and is expected to be a hot pick at the auction IPL 2025 Mega Auctionwhich is scheduled to take place on November 24th and 25th in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The passionate Australian pacer didn't have the best start to his 2024 IPL season. He conceded 100 runs and went wicketless in his first two games for KKR. The lefty seamer upped the ante as the tournament neared its end. He withstood the odds and won the Player of the Match award in Qualifier 1 and the final, helping KKR to their third IPL title and their first in a decade.

His economy rate was a disappointing 10.61, but he bowled difficult overs in both the Powerplay and the Death, and the flat wickets at Eden Gardens didn't help his cause. However, Starc's ability to perform at his best in big games makes him a valuable member of any team he plays for.

In the shortest format of the game, the 34-year-old has taken 193 wickets from 142 matches at an average of 20.59 and an economy rate of 7.77. He can lead a bowling attack and also help the younger pacers in the side by sharing his experiences of playing at the highest level.

AI has predicted a return to the popular franchise Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for Starc. The Australian speedster represented the popular franchise in 2014 and 2015. RCB was looking for a lethal pace bowler to strengthen their bowling attack, especially in death overs. They have released Mohammed Siraj and will be looking for someone who can lead their team in IPL 2025. Starc's experience and proven track record in the T20 games make him the ideal candidate.

Bengaluru will look to strengthen their squad with a left-arm fast bowler who can move the ball in both directions and deliver yorkers under pressure. Given his previous stint with RCB, the franchise might be interested in hiring him back to solve their bowling woes.
