Australian left arm pacer, Mitchell Starc has take 150 wickets in ODI cricket and become the fastest bowler to reach the mark. Mitchell Starc needed just 77 matches to reach the 150 wicket milestone in ODI cricket. In the process, he broke the record set by former Pakistani off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, who took 78 matches to reach that mark. Mitchell Starc took 5 wickets for 46 runs in his 10-over spell against West Indies in their second match at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. It was a complete showdown by the left arm pacer to send back 5 crucial players of West Indies to the pavilion. Mitchell Starc first took the big wicket of Chris Gayle as the ball nipped in with the late movement which Chris Gayle failed to read and the ball missed an inside edge to hit the back pad as he was given out lbw. He was again brought back into the attack when Andre Russell [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/andre-russell/] was looking dangerous on the crease as Windies were slowly looking to reach the target. Andre Russell decided to take on the Australian strike bowler and went on to give his wicket. Starc again did his job as he was bought back to take the big man. Mitchell Starc [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/05MitchellStarc.jpg]Mitchell Starc However, West Indies were still looking good out there in the middle with captain Jason Holder on the crease hitting a half-century and Carlos Brathwaite [http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/player/457249.html] looking to get back in form. Starc again came back and di the magic. He first took the wicket of Brathwaite with a low full toss. In the same over, he took the crucial wicket of Jason Holder in the last ball with a perfect bouncer which Holder couldn’t connect as he gloved the ball and send the ball in the hands of the short fine leg. He took his fifth wicket in the name of Sheldon Cottrell as he bowled him. Cottrell completely misread the ball and couldn’t connect the ball with the bat. With this, he became the first bowler to take a fiver in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Mitchell Starc’s five wickets helped Australia to win a close match against West Indies. Earlier, left arm New Zealand pacer, Trent Boult became the second fastest bowler to reach the 150 mark in ODIs behind Saqlain Mushtaq. However, he now slips to the third position as Stac becomes the fastest. On Wednesday, Boult took 2 wickets with giving 44 runs against Bangladesh at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

ICC Cricket World Cup History
The ICC Cricket World Cup is a competition that takes place every four years.?The tournament is considered one of the world's most viewed sporting events. The first ever ICC Cricket World Cup took place in 1975 in England. Interestingly, the inaugural ICC Women's Cricket World Cup was held two years before the Men's, namely in 1973.
There are no restrictions for playing in the World Cup, but the top eight ranked teams gain automatic qualification, while the remaining seats are fought for in a qualifier tournament. A total of 20 teams have played in an ICC Cricket World Cup game, but the number of participants has dwindled over the years.
For the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, only 10 teams will participate, including two qualifiers. This is a far cry from 14 teams that took part in 2015.
The next ICC Cricket World Cup will be held in 2023 for men. In addition to that, the next ICC Women's Cricket World Cup will be held in 2021.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Archives - EssentiallySports

Mitchell Aaron Starc (or Mitchell Starc) was one of the many cricketers who had successfully changed lanes from one department to other. Initially an aspiring wicket-keeper, Starc is now one of the most menacing fast bowlers in world cricket.

Born in New South Wales on January 30, 1990, Starc is regarded as a perfect replacement for another left-arm fast bowler who shared his first name with Starc. Both Starc and Johnson could trouble the batsmen with sheer pace.

Starc, on 21 August 2016 against Sri Lanka, became the fastest bowler to take 100 ODI wickets doing so in 52 innings and breaking Saqlain Mushtaq's 19-year-old record. Though it was very soon broken by Rashid Khan, Starc still remains the fastest pace bowler to do so. Later in 2019, Starc became the fastest bowler to reach 150 ODI wicket in term of innings taken, again beating Saqlain Mustaq by one innings.

In 2016, Mitchell Starc also married fellow Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy.

The highest stage in his career has come in 2015 where he was the man of the series in the ICC Cricket World Cup with 22 wickets in his team?s victorious campaign. Though struck with injuries, he managed to come back to the next World Cup in 2019 and pick up 27 wickets in 10 matches.

He also started enjoying a regular place in the Test team until an ankle injury stopped him. After his comeback, he picked up 22 wickets in four Ashes test matches in 2017-18.

Domestic Career-
