IND vs WI: Gautam Gambhir’s player wishes to go on Caribbean tour; Regret of celebrating by throwing helmet against RCB

Indian Premier League 2023 (IPL 2023) match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) saw a heated argument between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. The first match between the two teams of the season in Bengaluru before Lucknow saw a lot of excitement. Lucknow won the last ball in that match. Avesh Khan celebrated by throwing a lot of helmets. He still regrets celebrating the victory like this. He still remembers how badly he was trolled after this.

Avesh Khan said, “This is my environment in social media and the helmet incident was a bit excessive. I realized later that I shouldn’t have done that. It happened in the heat of the moment. I feel sad now that I didn’t have to do all these things. Team India has to go on Caribbean tour next month. The seamer from Madhya Pradesh is hoping to get a chance. He played the last match for India in October 2022, when the South African team came on a tour of India.

What did Avesh Khan say about the Caribbean tour

Asked about being selected for the Caribbean tour, Avesh Khan said, “I am looking forward to going there. As a player, selection is not in my hands, one has to go through ups and downs. I want to make a comeback and am looking forward to doing just that.

Avesh happy with performance in Ranji Trophy

In the 2021-22 season, Avesh Khan was seen as a fast bowler in the T20 format, but the selectors soon moved on. He was not a part of the T20 World Cup squad in Australia and was asked to play domestic cricket. He took 38 wickets in eight matches for MP in Ranji. The team lost in the semi-finals. Avesh said he was happy with his red-ball performance.

What did Avesh Khan say on his performance in IPL?

However, Avesh Khan admits that the IPL has not lived up to expectations. He said, “If you compare my last two IPL seasons before this season, the performance was the way I wanted. However, even though this season has not been good according to me, I have maintained my economy rate under 10. I used to bowl the crucial fourth or fifth over and then bowl in the death overs.” Explaining this, he said that in this season more than 200 runs were scored in many matches and the economy of all the bowlers was high.

Avesh Khan played with painkillers and injections

In the Lucknow team, Andy Flower was impressed by Avesh Khan’s effort and fast bowling coach Morne Morkel gave him advice on how to set up the batsman. He said, “I had stitches on my hand and still I bowled in the opening matches of the IPL. He openly said that he likes my attitude, which is to put the team above everything else. I took painkillers and got an injection in my arm and everyone praised me after the game.”
