Will Mitchell Starc play against India? Detailing the Australian pacer's record against India in World Cups image

Mitchell Starc is set to return to Australia's Playing XI in a must-win Super 8 game against India. After an upset against dark-horses Afghanistan, anything other than a win against India could prove costly for the Aussies.

Starc was dropped from Australia's starting line-up against Afghanistan. However, the ace-pacer is likely to be back in the mix for the final Super 8 game against arch-rivals, India.

With their backs against the wall, Mitchell Marsh & Co. will have to be at their supreme best to beat an unbeaten Indian side at the T20 World Cup 2024. If selected, Starc would lead the bowling attack, and the onus will be on him,  to come up with the goods. 

As the 34-year-old prepares his return, The Sporting News details Starc's bowling record against India in ICC World Cups.
