Avesh Khan (Delhi Capitals)
Avesh Khan was given the responsibility for the pace department in the absence of experienced pacers like Ishant Sharma, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje and Avesh didn’t disappoint Delhi capitals. He made the most out of the opportunity he got and performed brilliantly in all the matches.
Avesh Khan impressed everyone with his versatile performance. He was equally effective in both middle and death overs. The pacer from Madhya Pradesh ended his season with the title of second highest wicket-taker just behind Harshal Patel. He picked 14 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 16.50 and an economy rate of 7.60.
After his brilliant IPL performances, Avesh Khan was given a place in the Indian tour of England for the Tests as a net bowler. If he can manage to continue his brilliant performance in the UAE phase of the season, then no one can take away from him the Player of the Tournament award.
