T20 World Cup: Team India finally won its second T20 World Cup title on 29 June after a wait of 17 years. Rohit and company defeated South Africa by 7 runs in the title match. However, Indian fans got a big shock after winning the tournament (T20 World Cup 2024). Veteran batsman Virat Kohli, captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from T20 International one after the other. However, this series of retirements is not over yet. Another veteran fast bowler has made up his mind to say goodbye to the T20 format.

This veteran announced his retirement

In fact, with the T20 World Cup 2024, Australia's legendary batsman David Warner retired from international cricket. But now Australia's fast bowler Mitchell Starc has also decided to say goodbye to the T20 format. Recently, during a podcast, when he was asked about participating in the next T20 World Cup to be played in 2026, he said that perhaps he would watch that tournament sitting in the gallery. This makes it clear that he is not dreaming of playing the next T20 World Cup.

Such was the performance

The performance of the Australian team was quite average in the T20 World Cup 2024. They won all their matches in the group stage, but in the Super 8 stage they suffered humiliating defeats against Afghanistan and India. At the same time, the tournament was not very special for the fast bowler Mitchell Starc. He took 5 wickets in 5 matches at an economy of 8.55.

Such was the career of Mitchell Starc

34-year-old Mitchell Starc has played 65 T20 matches for Australia so far, in which he has taken 79 wickets at an average of 23.81. At the same time, he has taken 358 wickets in 170 innings of 89 Tests and 236 wickets in 121 ODIs. Apart from this, he also made a big contribution in making Kolkata Knight Riders the champion in IPL 2024.
