Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Ever since he was spotted, Aaron has been part of the MRF Pace Foundation in Chennai and works very hard to maintain his pace. A good show in Australia with the India Emerging Players squad earned him a national call-up, where he made his ODI debut against England at Mumbai in 2011.
A few months later, Aaron was given a Test cap against the visiting West Indies. However, injuries forced him to be ignored and he returned to the national fold again in 2014 for India's tour of New Zealand. Since then, he had a brief period of cricket at the highest level, including a good time in the IPL.
However, inconsistency saw Aaron slipping quickly from the pecking order of India's fast bowling department much quickly than he had anticipated. In recent years, he has become a more matured bowler without cutting down on his pace and with age on his side, he can be back in the reckoning for an India spot but will need to toil away in the domestic circuit.
IPL through the years
One of the fastest bowlers in India, Varun Aaron’s career has been a sorry tale of injuries deflating his innate talent. Having emerged into the international scene as a raw product capable of clocking 145kph easily, it didn’t take long for Aaron to get an IPL contract. He’s represented the Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Rides and Royal Challengers Bangalore without being a regular starter for any of the sides. Despite possessing high speeds, Aaron’s consistency in lines and lengths were a factor that rendered him ineffective, as you can’t be a one-dimension pace bowler in T20 cricket. The 2014 and 2017 seasons were the most effective ones for Aaron who has shown signs of maturity over the years. He didn’t get a game in the 2018 season and got picked up by the Rajasthan Royals in the 2019 auctions. His inclusion does give RR an aggressive pace option.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
In a country starved of genuinely quick bowlers, Varun Aaron grabbed the headlines when he hit 153 kph during the 2010-11 Vijay Hazare Trophy final against Gujarat. Hailing from Jharkhand, Aaron has been part of the MRF Pace Academy in Chennai since he was spotted by a talent scout at the age of 15. However, his career has been marred with frequent injuries. Two stress fractures of the back soon after his Ranji Trophy debut in the 2008-09 season for Jharkhand, a back injury that kept him out of India's tour to Australia in 2011-12 before a recurrence kept him out of competitive cricket for 15 months, and a leg injury in 2014 has had a severe impact on the pacer's Test career.
He was part of the India Emerging Players squad that went to Australia in 2011, and earned a call-up to the India ODI squad for the series in England. He did not get a game on that trip, but he made his India debut in Mumbai in October 2011, against England. He made his Test debut a month later, against West Indies, also in Mumbai.
Aaron's pace during India's tour of England in 2014 - including a sharp bouncer that broke Stuart Broad's nose - impressed county side Durham, and he was signed for the final few weeks of the season. Having earlier been part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad, he made his IPL debut in 2011 for Delhi Daredevils. In 2014, Aaron was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for INR 2 crore (approx. 300,000 USD), and was retained by the franchise ahead of the 2016 auction.
