Arora names SKY as toughest to bowl to
Speaking to Saurav Yaduvanshi on his On the Road podcast, Arora revealed that Suryakumar Yadav was the toughest batter to bowl to.
“I personally feel Surya bhai (is toughest to bowl to). He can play any shot against you off any delivery and in any area. It is very tough to plan against him because he plays in all directions,” Arora said.
The KKR pacer also detailed how on his IPL journey commenced. He started as a net bowler with Punjab Kings before he moved into their main squad in 2022. After that, he has been a part of KKR for three seasons now and was also a part of the IPL 2024-winning KKR side.
