IPL 2021: Avesh Khan age, height, hometown and T20 stats

Uncapped pacer Avesh Khan has become the talk of the town after his fantastic performance for the Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2021 fixture against the Chennai Super Kings. Khan bowled four overs in CSK's innings, scalping two wickets and conceding only 23 runs at an economy rate of 5.75.

Avesh Khan opened his account in the IPL by trapping former South African skipper Faf du Plessis in front of his stumps. The Delhi Capitals youngster did not allow the South African batsman to open his account.

Khan did the same to MS Dhoni, as he got him out before the CSK skipper could score his first run in IPL 2021. Khan bowled a back-of-length delivery outside off that got a thick inside edge off Dhoni's bat and rattled his stumps.

The Delhi Capitals included Avesh Khan in their playing XI ahead of Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav. The decision paid off well for the Delhi-based team, and here are some interesting facts you need to know about Khan.
