Mitchell Starc's comeback has cranked RCB's performance up by several notches

New Delhi: After missing out on the initial few weeks of the Indian Premier League due to an injury, Australian speedster Mitchell Starc is back to give nightmares to world class batsmen with his pace.

Starc, who was adjudged the Man of the Series in the recently concluded ICC World Cup, was back after RCB had lost two out of three matches in the tournament.

Starc looked slightly off-colour in his first match of this season where he picked just one wicket against Chennai Super Kings. However, he hardly took time to come back to form as the southpaw picked six wickets in the next two matches against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils.

Along with intimidating pace, Starc also brought luck for his franchise as the Virat Kohli-led team won two out of three matches, both in comprehensive manner, since his comeback.

Starc's comeback has also been a huge sigh of relief for Kohli, who has come up with scores of 51, 62* and 35* since the Australian joined the squad.

The teams are wary of that one bowler, whose 24 balls can make a huge difference to a result. For the time being, Starc is one such bowler, whose venomous spells would not only continue to trouble the batsmen, but will also help his team rise in the points table.
