What's the story

Mitchell Starc's injury comes at the worst possible time for Kolkata Knight Riders.

With IPL only a week away, the Knights will now have to find an able replacement for their premier bowler.

Starc, who was bought for Rs. 9.4 crore, suffered a tibial bone stress fracture in his right leg.

Here are some potential replacements for Aussie Mitchell Starc.

Best option?

Josh Hazlewood- Australia

With Starc's IPL injury woes continuing, fellow Australian Josh Hazlewood can be a viable option for KKR.

The strike bowler is currently playing against South Africa in the 4th Test.

He may not be as quick as Starc, but Josh is a wicket-taking asset with consistency on offer.

He hasn't played much T20Is, but experience in ODIs and Tests would help him get rolling.

He dismissed Rohit Sharma in all the 3 games.

Dala's raw pace makes the 28-year-old a genuine contender and an able replacement for Starc.

Rising star

Tom Curran- England

Curran is one of the genuine young talented players set for a great future.

The English pacer is excellent both at the death and with the new ball. His yorkers are a delight as well.

He did not find any takers in the auction, but this could be the moment for the 23-year-old to make a mark.

He has 7 wickets in 6 T20Is.
