Varun Aaron burst onto the scene, the Indian fast bowling resources were still scarce. Bowling in the high 140s and clocking more than 150 clicks frequently, Aaron formed a formidable pair with Umesh Yadav for India. But genuinely quick pacers are always troubled by injuries and Aaron was no different. Frequent injuries meant that Aaron could play only 9 Tests and 9 ODIs for India. Aaron last played for India in the 2nd Test against South Africa in Bengaluru in 2015. In the Indian Premier League, Aaron has played for Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers Bangalore, King XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals.
