Top 5 bowling spells that made IPL playoffs unforgettable

Mitchell Starc (KKR vs SRH), IPL 2024 (Final)

The IPL 2024 final saw another unforgettable performance, this time from Australian speedster Mitchell Starc for Kolkata Knight Riders against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Hyderabad entered the final with one of the most dangerous batting lineups of the season, but Starc completely shattered their confidence in the powerplay itself.

The left-arm pacer bowled with raw pace and aggression, producing devastating deliveries that dismantled the top order. He dismissed Abhishek Sharma with a stunning delivery that crashed into the stumps and later removed Rahul Tripathi. Starc finished with figures of 2/14 in three overs, setting the tone for KKR to bowl out SRH for just 113. Kolkata later chased the target comfortably to secure their third IPL title, with Starc’s opening burst becoming one of the defining moments of the final.
