Avesh Khan: News

A quintessential modern fast bowler with several variations up his sleeve, Avesh Khan, is considered one of India's future first XI players. Hailing from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Khan was part of the Indian squad for the 2014 U-19 World Cup. In the same year, he made his first-class debut as well. Known for his ability to move the new ball while bowling over 140km/h consistently, Khan has a number of weapons in his arsenal. Like any successful modern-day bowler, he can bowl leg-cutters, off-cutters, and, more essentially, effective slow balls. His first tryst with fame came in the 2016 U-19 World Cup. In that tournament where India finished as the runner-up, Khan was the leading wicket-taker for the team. Khan made his List A debut for Madhya Pradesh in the 2017-18 Vijay Hazare Trophy. In the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy, he was the leading wicket-taker for Madhya Pradesh. Khan made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2017 edition. Although he played a single match in that season, in the next edition, he was picked by the Delhi Capitals franchise and has been retained by them since.
