Mitchell Starc has played a total of 27 matches during his IPL career from 2014-2015. During this period, Starc took 34 wickets at a bowling average of 20.38 and economy rate of 7.16. His best bowling figures are 4/15.
Kings XI Punjab had a rather dramatic and unfortunate IPL 2020 season as they did not manage to qualify for the IPL playoffs due to their poor start at IPL 2020. KXIP skipper KL Rahul had his best IPL season so far and was the highest run scorer of the tournament with 670 runs, thus winning the Orange Cap.
