KKR Pacer Vaibhav Arora Hails Arshdeep Singh as His Biggest Inspiration

Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Vaibhav Arora has publicly named Punjab Kings star Arshdeep Singh as the bowler he looks up to and draws inspiration from. In a recent exclusive interview, Arora highlighted the positive influence of his close friend, emphasizing Arshdeep's achievements at the international level.

Arora, who has been retained by KKR for the IPL 2026 season, noted that the two pacers have played together since childhood and shared time in Punjab camps. He stressed that seeing Arshdeep perform exceptionally well motivates him to reach the same level. Arora revealed that he often seeks advice from Arshdeep, especially when feeling low, and always takes away something positive from their conversations.

This mutual respect underscores the healthy competition and camaraderie among India's emerging fast-bowling talent. Arora himself has been a key component of KKR's attack, delivering crucial spells with the new ball and improving his death-bowling variations over the past two seasons.
