Debutant kamindu mendis

Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India fast bowler Varun Aaron lauded Kolkata Knight Riders' medium pacer Vaibhav Arora for his brilliant effort against Sunrisers Hyderabad and said the 27-year-old backed his lengths and delivered at the right moments.

Arora, who came as an impact player for KKR, struck early to remove dangerous Travis Head on the second ball of the innings. Interestingly, he had dismissed Head for a golden duck in the IPL 2024 final.

He then added another to his tally by sending Ishan Kishan back to the hut before striking once again to dismiss Heinrich Klassen as KKR bundled out SRH for 120 in 16.4 over in their chase of 201. Arora's performance also awarded him the Player of the Match honour.
