Avesh Khan, born on December 13, 1996, is a first-class Indian cricketer who has made a significant impact on cricket at the domestic level in India. Avesh Khan is a promising young player in India’s top division of cricket. There is no reason why the right-arm pacer can’t develop into a dangerous bowler in the future. In a match against Railways on December 7–10, 2014, in Delhi, he made his first-class debut. Two of the first innings batsmen fell to his bowling. He was purchased by Royal Challengers Bangalore for INR 10 lakhs at the 2017 Indian Premier League auction.
When his contract with RCB ended in 2017, Delhi Capitals paid INR 75 lakhs to acquire Avesh and ensure his continued participation in the IPL through 2020. He has only made eight appearances, but he has taken five wickets. Khan’s father, Ashique Khan, also played cricket on a local level, so he was introduced to the sport at a young age and taught him the ropes. His ascent has been gradual, but the upcoming IPL 2020 season could be his breakout year.
