#2 Varun Aaron’s expensive penultimate over

Varun Aaron gave away 16 runs off the penultimate over

Extra pace makes Varun Aaron quite different from the other Indian seamers. When he gets it right, the 27-year old fast bowler can be a handful and keep even accomplished batsmen on their toes with his slippery action.

On other occasions when things go wrong (which seem to be more regular than the former), he can concede a copious amount of runs.

This game was one such forgettable encounter for Aaron. Tasked with delivering the all-important penultimate over, he gave away as many as 16 runs to bring the equation down to just 8 off 6 balls. From his full quota of overs, the right-armer had to part with 43 runs.
