The 25-year-old Right-Arm seam bowler, who was born in Karnataka, wasted no time leaving his mark. He delivered a stellar performance that caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts worldwide.

Dream Debut in IPL

Given the new ball to open the attack, Kaverappa immediately caught the eye with his precision and pace, almost claiming the prized wicket of Virat Kohli in his very first over.

Although Kohli welcomed him with a six in the fifth over, he got rid of dangerous Will Jacks on the fourth ball. Rajat Patidar almost fell prey to Kaverappa’s intimidating pace-bowling but Harshal Patel dropped a sitter at the deep backward square to deny PBKS from taking a huge lead in the game.

Rising Star

Vidwath Kaverappa’s journey to the IPL is a testament to his exceptional talent and hard work in the Indian domestic circuit, where he has consistently impressed with his wicket-taking ability.

Acquired by Punjab Kings during the 2023 IPL auction for his base price of INR 20 lakh, Kaverappa’s retention for the IPL 2024 season underscores the franchise’s belief in his potential.

Stellar Records in Domestic

Kaverappa’s standout performances in domestic tournaments like the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy demonstrate his ability to thrive under pressure and deliver consistent results.

He was the second-highest wicket-taker for Karnataka in the 2022-23 Ranji season. His stellar performances in the Karnataka Premier League caught the attention of the Punjab Kings franchise, which resulted in him getting his maiden IPL contract. His standout performance in the 2022 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he claimed 18 wickets in just eight games, highlighted his ability to be effective in the shortest format of the game.

With an economy rate of 6.36 in this tournament and a stellar showing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy with 17 wickets at an economy of 3.53, Kaverappa has proven his mettle as a reliable bowler under pressure.

Renowned for his exemplary cricketing skills and global influence, Virat Kohli, the star batter of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), has become a role model for cricket enthusiasts worldwide. Currently leading the charts as the highest run-scorer in IPL 2024 with 542 runs in 11 matches, Kohli continues to dazzle fans with his stellar performances.
