Ageless Mitchell Starc Blazes at 147 kph in Test Return

Mitchell Starc reminded everyone why he remains one of cricket's most feared fast bowlers, tearing in with genuine pace on the opening day of Australia's Test series against Bangladesh in Darwin. The veteran left-armer was the only Australian bowler to strike, removing opener Shadman Islam, while consistently hitting speeds in the high 140s kph and even topping 150 at times.

Playing his first competitive match in nearly three months, Starc showed no signs of rust. His intense seven-over burst in the final session had fans around the world marveling at his fitness and sustained speed. The performance also saw him claim a major world record, adding another milestone to his illustrious career.

Social media quickly filled with praise for Starc's ageless display, with many calling him an incredible athlete. Some Pakistani fans, however, used the moment to compare his pace unfavorably with their own Shaheen Afridi, whose speed has dipped in recent months. Starc's efforts proved that age remains just a number for the legendary Australian quick.
