Vaibhav Arora Aims to be KKR's Bumrah in IPL 2026 Amidst Injury Woes

• Vaibhav Arora sees a 'huge opportunity' to step up for KKR in IPL 2026 due to injuries to key pacers like Harshit Rana and Matheesha Pathirana.
• Arora, previously a powerplay specialist, is now expected to bowl across all phases, including death overs, taking on broader responsibilities.
• He aims to emulate Jasprit Bumrah, his idol, by delivering consistently with the new ball, in middle overs, and at the death.
• Arora is working with Dwayne Bravo on yorkers and variations, and learning from bowling coach Tim Southee on lines, lengths, and swing.
• A strong IPL performance could open doors for international opportunities, as KKR prepares for their IPL 2026 campaign starting March 29.
