In this Ranji Trophy season, fast bowler Avesh Khan has put in a great performance so far. Avesh, who played for Madhya Pradesh, played a key role in the team’s 5-wicket victory in the quarter-final match against Andhra. In the first innings, the Madhya Pradesh team was 151 runs behind the Andhra score. Following this, Avesh took 4 wickets in Andhra’s second innings, whereupon the Andhra team were down to a score of just 93 runs. Avesh has taken 36 wickets in 7 matches so far this Ranji season.
Regarding his great performance, Avesh Khan said after the match that we had a long session during the game on the third day and Pandit Sir made it clear that if we want to play like a champion team, we have to beat the opposition. 100 runs. So we have to chase the target down to 250 only. We wanted to do this and I am very happy that we were able to succeed in our plan.
On the question about his return to the Indian team, Avesh Khan said that he has been in and out of the team twice. People speculate that I was not doing well, because on some occasions it was very expensive. But in today’s cricket, 6 times out of 10 a bowler may have a bad day. I am not complaining in any way about this, but this is the truth. Now I have decided to leave all these things behind and live in the present. Whenever there is a selection, it will be at that moment, because the performance is in my hands, not the selection, and that is why I have stopped thinking about all these things.
Avesh Khan has so far played 15 T20s and 5 ODIs for India in their international cricket, in which he has a total of 16 wickets in both formats. Avesh said after his brilliant performance in Ranji this season that his aim is to play Test cricket for India.
Khan said that I have played limited overs cricket for India, now my aim is to secure my place in the Indian Test team and for this I am continuously working hard. I want to fulfill my responsibilities by playing Ranji for Madhya Pradesh so that I can move the team forward and this win against Andhra is the hard work of the whole team.
