Avesh Khan of RR, a traveling reserve in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad, stressed in the post-match press conference that he always gives it his all, remains composed, and follows his game plan despite receiving some criticism. He emphasized his wide yorkers, slower bouncers, and yorkers’ success, saying he stays with these deliveries in the death overs since they have worked for him.
The Rajasthan Royals achieved an unexpected victory, even though the Royals of Chennai were riding high after winning six straight games going into the IPL 2024 playoffs. With an over remaining and complete control over the game, RR overcame RCB by four wickets to advance to Qualifier 2 and play Sunrisers Hyderabad for a spot in the championship game.

“I always go all out, maintain a calm demeanor, and bowl the delivery that I would have considered doing at the top of my mark. I usually attempt to bowl a slow bouncer or a wide yorker during the final overs. “I don’t change much and I get good results from these deliveries,” Avesh said during the post-match press conference.
The 27-year-old, who had been hit for 30 in his previous two games, was notable for pulling off a spectacular u-turn with the ball in the elimination round. It appeared as though Avesh Khan was done for all money after beginning his third over with a maximum, and he would take some more heavy hits in the deliveries that followed. Even though his economy was on the higher side, he nevertheless made a great recovery, taking the dangerous Rajat Patidar for a critical wicket and then dismissing both the powerful Mahipal Lomror and the in-form Dinesh Karthik in a double-wicket 19th over.
There will be obvious signs of physical and mental exhaustion: Avesh Khan
Looking back at his previous IPL season with the Lucknow Super Giants, the bowler said that despite his best efforts, he felt his body wasn’t working at its best after delivering 243.4 overs in eight matches for Madhya Pradesh. He understood that although the IPL had a shorter format than the game’s longest, it still required a lot of work and that it would be possible to feel and experience both physical and mental exhaustion.
“I bowled almost 320 overs in ten Ranji Trophy games before entering the IPL last year, when I was a player for LSG. The body was reacting incorrectly. Even though I was trying, it was not succeeding. You realize this as a bowler. Even though the IPL is a four-over or 20-over competition, it requires a lot of work. There will be obvious signs of both physical and mental exhaustion, Avesh continued.
