Avesh Khan India ICC Under-19 World Cup 2016

Avesh Khan has been making a name for himself in the last one year with his performances at the youth level. Hence, it was no doubt that Avesh was the frontline bowler for India U-19 in the World Cup.

The 19-year-old bowler took on the responsibility and led from the front with the ball as he picked up 12 wickets in 6 games at an average of 15.08 and an economy rate of 3.48. Avesh consistently troubled the opposition batsmen in all the matches and along with Khaleel Ahmed kept things tight at the start of the bowling innings.

In the final against West Indies U-19, Avesh and co. helped India take the match to the very last over despite West Indies having to chase only a target of 146.

Following his performance in the World Cup, Avesh is definitely one to look for in the future as he will be looking to make it to the senior squad and rid India of their bowling woes.
