#4 Varun Aaron’s tight spell vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Aaron celebrates the fall of a wicket

In the very same game, the reason for the Challengers’ poor outing – barring de Villiers – was Varun Aaron. The speedster might not have had a great tournament per se, but his influence on this game was so compelling that none of the stars of Royal Challengers’ line-up could pick out his deliveries.

Aaron’s spell of four overs, 21 runs and two wickets totally dismantled the Royal Challengers’ batsmen in the process.

If it weren’t for de Villiers’ brilliance, described in the last slide, RCB would have struggled to put up even a 100 runs on the board. And that would have been all thanks to Varun Aaron.
