SALIL ARORA

Salil Arora is one of the most explosive wicketkeeper-batters to emerge from the Punjab cricketing stable.Signed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for a staggering ₹1.5 Crore in the IPL 2026 auction, Arora justified his price tag early in the season. He entered the league on the back of a historic Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign where he smashed 358 runs at a strike rate of 198.88. His highlight-reel performance—a breathtaking 125* off just 45 balls against Jharkhand—remains one of the most dominant T20 knocks in Indian domestic history. As a middle-order finisher, Salil provides SRH with a lethal six-hitting option and reliable glovework. His "skiddy" batting style and ability to manipulate fields have made him a nightmare for death-over bowlers in the current tournament.
