Avesh Khan Biography, Age, Height, Achievements, Family and Career Statistics

Avesh Khan, born on December 13, 1996, is a first-class Indian cricketer who has significantly impacted domestic cricket in India. Avesh Khan is a talented young cricket player in India’s premier league. There is no reason why the right-arm fast bowler cannot become a dangerous bowler in the future. On December 7–10, 2014, in Delhi, he made his first-class debut against Railways. Two first-inning batters fell victim to his bowling. During the 2017 Indian Premier League auction, he was acquired by Royal Challengers Bangalore for ten lakhs INR.

When Avesh’s contract with RCB expired in 2017, Delhi Capitals paid INR 75 lakhs to secure his participation in the IPL through 2020. However, he has claimed five wickets in eight matches. Khan’s father, Ashique Khan, also played cricket on a local level, so he was introduced to the sport and instructed in its fundamentals at an early age. His rise has been steady, but the 2020 IPL season could be his breakthrough year.

Lesser-known facts about Avesh Khan are:

• In Avesh Khan’s family, money has never been a lot. The government also closed his family’s paan shop because of road work. Avesh’s success in cricket helped keep the family’s finances stable when he played for India twice in the Under-19 World Cup.
• He took the second-most wickets in the 2021 IPL, which was cut short because of India’s worrying rise in COVID-19 cases.
• The Lucknow Super Giants paid INR 10 crore (about $1.6 million) to acquire him during the IPL 2022 mega auction in February 2022. He set a record for the highest price paid for a player who had never played for India in the IPL. CSK bid INR 9.25 crore (about $1.3 million) to acquire Krishnappa Gowtham during the IPL 2021 auction. Therefore, he became the most expensive player in IPL history who never appeared in a game for his side.
