Rajasthan Royals pacer Avesh Khan believes his last ball against Delhi Capitals in the IPL could be his best performance in the death overs. The Indian pacer had to defend 17 runs in the final over on Thursday night and he was able to do so with considerable ease, landing one over after another against the yorkers. Delhi scored just 4 points in that match, ensuring a 12-point victory for the home team. Coming into the season, Lucknow Supergiants traded Avish to Royals.
“This is not the first time I bowled the last ball. I defended against Rajasthan last year. When I played for Delhi (and bowled the last ball there too), execution-wise it was It was my best ball. All the balls were in the same spot, yorker,” said Avesh, who has played eight ODIs and 20 T20s.
The 27-year-old also talked about how his role has changed compared to last season with LSG.
“In Lucknow and DC, I used to bowl one or two overs first in the powerplay. Here, I bowl two overs after the powerplay and I can bowl in the death as well. Team Management and Sanju ( Samson) gave the Seagulls the freedom to execute their plans, which helped. Sanju was the captain of the bowlers.
6 balls. 6 beauties.

He gave due praise to Royals’ new number four Riyan Parag, who single-handedly kept the team in the game after a lackluster start with an unbeaten 84 off 45 balls . “Considering we lost wickets early and had a low run-rate, it was a game-changing innings. He helped us get a fighting total. He has a good touch and played a big role in this and the last game This is proven in ,” Avish added.
