Starc took two brilliant back-to-back catches of Wriddhiman Saha (2) and Maxwell (6) to reduce KXIP to 40 for three at one stage while they were chasing a small target of 125 for victory. At the end though, RCB lost by five wickets.
"Maxi's catch was more satisfying because he has been scoring heavily and I was happy to get him out cheaply. It didn't do us any good in the end but I was happy to take a couple of good ones," said Maxwell.
The Royal Challengers boost of some of the fine fielders in their ranks, but Starc picked Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers as his favourites.
"We've got some great fielders. We have AB patrolling the outfield. The ball hardly passes him. Virat is a class act and one of the best fielders in the world. It's hard to pick but probably Virat and AB are the best. Virat is also my favourite Indian fielder," Starc was quoted as saying by IPL official website.
Chasing 151, RCB fell short against KKR after an airborne Lynn stretched his body backwards at the deep midwicket fence to pull off a blinder and send back dangerman de Villiers to stage a dramatic fightback and pull off a two-run win in a thrilling last-ball finish at Sharjah.
