Many young players have impressed with their strong performances this year during IPL 2024. IPL is very famous all over the world for these qualities. This season, Vaibhav Arora of Kolkata Knight Riders is one of those young players who has done wonders with his bowling. During the IPL 2024 auction, the Kolkata Knight Riders team was looking for a bowler who could bowl well in the death overs for the team and not give away too many runs. On the other hand, they were also looking for a bowler with the new ball who could take wickets during the powerplay overs. This was one of the reasons why the team spent Rs 24.75 crore on Mitchell Starc.
Vaibhav passes on stark fail
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc has taken only seven wickets in eight matches and bowled with a poor economy of 11.78 per over. But Starc’s failure did not cause much trouble to KKR. The reason behind this was its young fast bowlers Vaibhav Arora and Harshit Rana. Both these players have presented their young talent in a very strong manner this season. Vaibhav has especially surprised the opposing team. In a season where the batsmen are thrashing the bowlers, the Himachal Pradesh fast bowler has given runs at an economy rate of 9.05 per over. Vaibhav is with KKR for the year 2021 and he has received Rs 20 lakh this season.
How was your performance this season?
His best bowling performance of the 17th season of IPL came against Delhi Capitals in Visakhapatnam. Where he took 3 wickets for 27 runs and helped Kolkata win by 106 runs. It is still early days in his IPL career for Vaibhav as he has played just 15 matches in the T20 tournament and has taken 17 wickets at an economy rate of 9.13.
did wonders in domestic cricket
With 24 first-class matches, Vaibhav has good domestic experience and continues to impress. He has 88 wickets to his name in first-class cricket and his average with the ball is 22.35, which includes four five-wicket hauls and as many four-wicket hauls. KKR looks to be a strong contender for a place in the playoffs, so Vaibhav will have a big responsibility to destroy the opposition batting order with his flamboyant spells.
