Bangalore: Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Sreenath Aravind, who took four wickets against Kings XI Punjab, said senior fast bowler Mitchell Starc taught him the tricks of the trade.

After Chris Gayle's 57-ball 117 steered RCB to 226 for three, left-arm paceman Aravind (4/27) rocked the Punjab top and middle-order while Starc (4/15) polished off the lower-order to guide the team to 138-run win here last night. "It was interesting working with him. He is a great Australian bowler. He taught me to hit the deck hard and make use of the seam. You know yorkers are his main weapon, so learnt from him," Aravind told reporters at the post-match press conference here.
