Starc on his record bid: 'It was a shock'
“It was a shock, of course. Nothing I could have dreamt of. But no doubt, there will be some pressure that comes with the territory. But having the extra experience I have from my last IPL, hopefully, helps," Starc told Jio Cinema.
“Few ups and downs I've had before but this comes with the territory and I try to be successful and have as much impact as possible.” The 33-year-old left-arm speedster said the intense bidding for his services came as a humbling experience.
“Humbling to still feel like I'm wanted or needed. My gameplay hasn't changed much across formats except a few things here and there. Hopefully, the experience can translate to some success,” he said.
