Varun Aaron might have had an injury-laden career but has still managed to leave a mark in Indian cricket. The Jharkhand pacer, who announced himself with his sheer pace and went on to represent India in 9 Test matches, recently bid adieu to first-class cricket.

The 34-year-old will continue to ply his trade in white-ball cricket. During an interaction with ABP Live, when Aaron was asked to look back at his first-class career, he said that he was proud of what he managed to achieve despite a career marred with injuries.

"It's been 17 seasons. I think I am the first fast bowler from Jharkhand to play Test cricket for India which is not very easy considering the kind of wickets we get in Jharkhand to bowl on. It's difficult to explain," he told ABP Live.

"I am really proud that I could play Test cricket for India from Jharkhand," he added.

Getting Too Much Into Technique Takes The Joy Out Of The Sport

When asked to give an advise to his younger self, the Jamshedpur-born speedster said that if there is one suggestion he would probably give to his younger self it would be not to get caught up on technique too much but also focus on what the batter is doing.

"The reason why I got caught up in technique was because I was having so many injuries. You know I was getting stress fractures almost every single year. So I had to give really to get really deep into technique to us and play the game and I think it's a double-edged sword. I could play the game for so long also only because I got into techniques," he said.
