He was crucial to KKR's title-winning season, proving the owners right as the team lifted its third IPL title in history. However, even after KKR had won the title, Starc wasn't luck enough to have his salary reminders completely eliminated. In a chat on Willow Talk, Starc admitted being engaged in a cheeky chat with KKR youngster Angkrish Raghuvanshi who mocked the IPL title-winning prize money.
