In his first two games, he conceded over 100 runs without taking a single wicket, raising questions about his hefty price tag. However, Mitchell Starc silenced his critics with stellar performances in the later stages of the tournament, particularly in Qualifier 1 and Final. On both occasions, he was named the Player of the Match. 

Mitchell Starc attributed his remarkable turnaround to his wife, Alyssa Healy, who joined him in the later stages of the IPL 2024. "Everything's better since Alyssa (Healy) has turned up," Starc remarked to Star Sports after the final.
