IPL 2022 LIVE: Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowler Vaibhav Arora has said his current focus is on the Indian Premier League (IPL) but he hopes to play for India someday.

Vaibhav was first drafted by PBKS in 2020 as a net bowler. In the following season, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bought the Himachal Pradesh bowler at INR 20 lakh. However, Vaibhav did not get a game last season. PBKS paid INR 2 crore to sign Vaibhav at the IPL 2022 mega auction in February.

After missing out on PBKS’ opening two encounters, Vaibhav made his IPL debut in Punjab’s clash with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) last week. He had a fine debut as he picked up two wickets and gave away just 21 runs in his quota of four overs. His second appearance in the IPL came against Gujarat Titans (GT). Vaibhav was expensive as he failed to pick up a wicket and gave away 34 runs in four overs.

In a recent interview, Vaibhav said he wants to work on his current form and produce the best results for PBKS in IPL 2022.

“My current focus is on IPL. I want to work on my form and give my best results to the team. I haven’t thought a lot about my future plans but if I continue with my good performance then one day hopefully I will play for India,” Vaibhav Arora said.

“It’s a part of the game. It happens in IPL that the team ends up losing the game at a very close margin, so it’s not a new thing. It’s a long tournament, we still have 10 matches. Despite being in a terrible state, we put up a great fight as Arshdeep and Rabada bowled fantastic overs but unfortunately, ended up on the losing side. We are really proud of the comeback that we made,” added Vaibhav.
