Indian national cricket team pacer Avesh Khan has been having a good time with the ball in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024 for India A. The match between his team and India B is underway at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Avesh Khan has been bowling well in the ongoing game against India B. The fast bowler took two wickets in the first innings and then managed just one wicket in the second innings, which would be crucial for his team on the final day of the game.
Avesh has been bowling hard lines and lengths in the game, which has been troubling the batsmen. Even on the third day of the game, he is producing great bounce, which speaks volumes about the kind of performance he has been showing for the team in an ongoing game.
Not only has Avesh been bowling well, but the fast bowler grabbed headlines for the way he was treated by the fans. The fast bowler was standing near the boundary ropes on the third day of the game, and that was when the fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru mocked him.
In the video that has gone viral on the internet, fans can be seen chanting RCB-RCB when Avesh was fielding near the boundary ropes. However, the fast bowler came up with a hand gesture to the fans in which he can be seen asking them to continue with their chants directed at him.
Here is the video:

Avesh Khan removed Sarfaraz Khan in the ongoing second innings of India B. The fast bowler came up with a brutal celebration after removing the batsman and grabbed the headlines again. The batsman finished with an innings of 46 runs off 36 balls and also hit 7 fours and 1 six, batting at a strike rate of around 128.
Avesh Khan is eligible to be selected for the Indian Test squad for the Bangladesh Tests.
According to News 18 reports, it has been learnt that fast bowler Avesh Khan is fit to be selected for the two-match Test series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team. Star bowler Jasprit Bumrah is likely to be rested for the series and there could be opportunities for the same other fast bowlers.
It has been learnt that BCCI selectors are reportedly looking for players who can partner Mohammed Siraj with the new ball. Avesh Khan has emerged as the leading candidate to be selected for the team in the two-match Test series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team.
The Test series between India and Bangladesh will begin on September 19. The first match of the series between the teams will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and then the second match will be played from September 27 in Kanpur.
Both matches will be part of the ICC World Test Championship and will be crucial for both teams in the context of reaching the final. Bangladesh would be high on confidence after defeating Pakistan in the recently concluded Test series. India, on the other hand, will be playing this format for the first time since March.
