IND vs WI 2022: Netizens brutally troll Avesh Khan for costly spell in 3rd T20I

Team India's Avesh Khan was taken to the cleaners by the West Indies batters during the third T20I of the ongoing five-match series on Tuesday (August 2) at Warner Park in St Kitts. The right-armer struggled to find his rhythm and ended up bowling a costly spell.

Avesh Khan had an economy rate of 15.7 to his name, as he conceded 47 runs from his three overs and remained wicketless. Notably, Sharma backed the pacer to bowl the crucial 19th over, even after he had given away 30 runs off his first two.

The 25-year-old started well and his first four deliveries went for just five runs. However, he missed his mark later on and Shimron Hetmyer hit him for two stunning sixes on the last two balls.

Incidentally, Avesh had a forgettable outing in the second game as well, finishing with an economy rate of 13.3.

A number of fans took to social media to troll Avesh Khan after yet another underwhelming performance. Here are some of the reactions:

After being asked to bat first at Warner Park, West Indies managed to post a competitive total of 164. Opener Kyle Mayers starred with the bat, scoring 73 off 50 balls.

For India, senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up two wickets, while Hardik Pandya bowled a miserly spell, conceeding just 19 runs and claiming an important wicket from four overs.

The Team India skipper looked in some discomfort during the second over of the Indian innings on Tuesday. The physio rushed out to the middle to attend to him.

However, the batter still seemed to be in pain and ultimately walked off the field. Sharma scored 11 runs from five balls before retiring hurt.

The Men in Blue have got off to a positive start in the run chase. The side have scored 49 runs from the first five overs of the chase.

Suryakumar Yadav has looked in great touch and is currently batting on 29. The right-handed batter has already struck five fours and a six in the game.
