Talking about the IPL career, Mitchell Starc made his debut in 2014 when he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). In the first season, Starc received an impressive salary of 5 crores. During that season, the Australian pacer gained attention due to catching technique and even an altercation with Mumbai Indians’ Kieron Pollard.
