Mitchell Starc Says He Won't Bowl Against Shubman Gill In England!

Shubman Gill is a man on a mission as he steps in as India's new test skipper against England. The batter did an enormous job in the first two matches by racking up runs, establishing his dominance in the number four spot. Even though the Indian side failed to clinch a win at Headingley, they turned the tables at Edgbaston by clinching a spectacular win to level the series 1-1.

Mitchel Starc recently evaluated Shubman Gill's blazing display against England and expressed that he would not bowl to him under English conditions.

“I wouldn’t bowl to him in England, that’s for sure. You just put a bowling machine there...

I didn’t see much of the game at all. I saw the scorecards, and there were a few guys that were waking up, particularly Marnus and Alex Carey and Steve Smith, who would sit around a coffee machine and watch the game. I did see the scores. Jeez, who would be a kid in England and want to bowl on some of those wickets?” Mitchell Starc said during an appearance on the Willow Talk Podcast.
