New Delhi: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis... These are the batsmen of world cricket, whose names only make bowlers trembl...
In the match against Delhi on Thursday night, Avesh could not do any great work, but he was awarded the man of the match award for his team's victory in the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He bowled brilliantly in the death overs to give his team a second win. While dedicating the award to his mother, he said, 'My mother is admitted in the hospital. I got a lot of support from him. After the match, I picked up my phone and connected with him over a video call and informed him about the match.
Avesh Khan's mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, said before the match against Delhi, 'She is still in the hospital, but already fine, she has a urine infection and two years ago she got breast cancer' That impressed her, but now everything is better. I am feeling good with the match-winning performance in the last game, but every day is a new day and I will try to bowl with the same momentum and help my team win matches.
Belonging to a middle-class family in Indore, Avesh Khan's childhood was spent in conflicts. Father Aashiq Khan used to run a paan shop and feed the family in the initial days. Actually, his father had lost his job, after which he started setting up a paan shop on the roadside, but in the widening of the road, the administration also removed the paan shop. The young star, who debuted in U19 in 2014, started supporting the household with the earnings from cricket matches.
Avesh was a part of Delhi Capitals till last season. He was at number two in the list of highest wicket-takers in the 2021 season. Known for his precise yorkers and excellent bowling, Avesh practices for hours by holding a bottle or shoe to perfection. For Delhi Capitals, he took 24 wickets in 16 matches in the last season. Avesh's teammate Enrique Norcia had said that he wanted to learn the art of bowling accurate yorkers from the young pacer.
The whole family did not think that the journey of cricket, which started with a tennis ball in 10 years, would reach here. On the basis of hard work, he made his List-A debut for Madhya Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on 5 February 2018. In the IPL in 2017, he got a chance in the Royal Challengers Bangalore team for the first time under the leadership of Virat.
