Ishan was pleased to see Avesh Khan during the practice. Ahead of hugging the speedster Ishan Kishan addressed him as, “Brother, the new king of death bowling is here.”
Avesh Khan defended 16 runs in the last over. As a result the hosts, Rajasthan Royals etched out a 12 run win against the Capitals. Avesh produced exceptional yorkers by giving away just 4 runs in the last over.
“My plan was clear, one side was longer and I wanted to bowl wide yorkers. I gave myself 5 seconds every ball to think and then execute the plan. If the batters play a good shot, it’s good for him, but I always back my yorkers,” Avesh Khan said after his game.
