IND vs AUS 3rd Test: Australia's star pacer Mitchell Starc is on the verge of achieving another milestone in the longest format. He can become the fourth bowler and second fast bowler to have taken 50 or more wickets at Gabba. Starc is currently lying at the fourth position in the elite list which has the likes of Shane Warne (68), Glenn McGrath (65), and Nathan Lyon (51).

Mitchell Starc can achieve the milestone of taking 50 wickets in Brisbane, where India and Australia will face each other for the third Test, which will be held later this week. He has taken 47 wickets after playing in 11 Test matches at an economy rate of 3.54 and has registered his career-best figures of 4/52.

Mitchell Starc rattles India in Adelaide

Travis Head was adjudged as the Player of the Match award but it was Mitchell Starc, who grabbed all the limelight for his match-winning spell during the second Test match in Adelaide. Starc did play a huge role in helping his team win the match by 10 wickets. He dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on the first ball itself.

He registered figures of 14.1-2-48-6 and helped the hosts skittle the visitors out for just 180 runs during the first innings. Starc wreaked havoc during the second innings as well, where he dismissed batters like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. During both the innings, Starc proved why he is considered one of the world's best bowlers.

The Pat Cummins-led side lost the series opener by 295 runs but bounced back by winning the second Test match and has leveled the series by 1-1. It would be interesting to see whether they could repeat their heroics in Brisbane.
