He is Varun Aaron, age 21. He bowled up to 148 ks day before yesterday in VIjay Hazaare trophy.
GIve your opinion on him.

was this speed recorded with same faulty speed guns which marked all indian bowlers in their last home series above 145kmph
As my dad would say "Indians gosht nahi khaatey, issi liye inki bowling slow hai"....i never seem to understand what he means by that. lol
I loved it when the commentator said """""141""""
Have heard good things about this lad from Wasim Akram (Varun plays for KKR in IPL).
But the problem is the bowling coaches in India are soon going to make him a 80 mph bowler asking him to focus on line and length and not think about pace!
Send him to Pakistani even Lankan NCA please and let him learn the skills from the coaches there.
where is dennis lililee MRF acedmy?
Dying a slow death courtsey BCCI. BCCI doesn't allow the contracted bowlers to go to MRF anymore, they are asked to report to the NCA at Bangalore and work with the coaches there (and all our bowling coaches at NCA are rubbish IMO).
thats pitty than.... because i am sure there were loads of good bowler coming out from there and even thoes who had issues..
even Mohammad Asif went there when he was dropped after Australia tour in 2004/5
By the time he makes it to the Indian side he will be bowling at 130
You are right. Srinath, Prasad, Agarkar, Nehra, Irfan pathan, Zaheer, Balaji, RP Singh, Sreesanth, Munaf etc have all been trained at MRF early in their career. Post 2007-08 though (when Sharad Pawar took over BCCI), MRF has been sidelined and it isn't a surprise that we have been struggling in getting even half decent bowlers since then.
But then its not surprising, the thugs at BCCI have always been good at ruining something that was working well.
I would love to disagree with that vehemently, but I cant...![]()
History is on my side![]()
Holly$h!t. He just bowled 153.4. Fastest bowl bowled by an Indian
Any video??
By the time he makes it to the Indian side he will be bowling at 130
is this guy a christian (Aaron)?
his runup head position looks awkward
He is a tribal by heritage.1st tribal to play cricket player i have seen.There have been many good tribal hockey players in India,they are natural athletes so i guess he will be good.
Anyone please u/l the 153k video.
Right now Neo Sports is showing highlights of this match. And yes he actually bowls a 153.5 kmph ball.
Good to see an Indian fast bowler at least trying to ball fast, though he definitely needs to work on his line. A good prospect for India indeed but his open chest action may not work in the long run.
PSlease keep him away from Venkatesh Prasad.
I will be happy if he bowls 145 k consistently and 150k occasionally.Well he bowled this on dead Indian pitches should crank ot up in SA AUS or ENG if given a chance by the BCCI.
PSlease keep him away from Venkatesh Prasad.
to my utter surprise he actually is bowling 140+ consistently![]()
Doesn't matter if it works in the long run, once a genuine quick is produced and gets results, others will be encouraged to bowl fast. India has a high enough population that there should always be 5-6 genuine pacers who are rotated to reduce workload. The problem is primarily cultural, there is a squashing of fast bowlers in favor of line and length medium pacers, once the trend is reversed, then quicks will be produced.
don't know man but I don't think its a cultural thing. I believe its more because they lack the physical ability to bowl fast.
don't mean to offend anyone.
lol...i read the above post after i had made this post![]()
No matter how much the Indian fans defend their medium pacers as good enough to get the job done, they crave for a real fast bowler, even if he doesn't take wickets and just clocks 150 kmph.
weightlifters are made fast bowlers are born![]()
LOL @ the excitement over 141ks. Anyway, this guy looks seriously average, like all Indian bowlers in fact.
