The fast bowler played
a big role in DC finishing on top at the end of the league stage. Avesh was a consistent wickettaker, finishing the tournament as the second most successful bowler behind Harshal Patel.
The Madhya Pradesh cricketer was especially efficient in the death overs. He perfected the yorker, as seen in an outing against MI, when he cleaned up Hardik Pandya with a beauty.
Avesh clearly earned the confidence of his captain Rishabh Pant, who regularly entrusted him with the death overs ahead of more senior colleagues like Kagiso Rabada. The 24-year-old will be especially happy that he was able to dismiss former India captain and CSK star M. S. Dhoni twice in this tournament. As a reward for his consistency, Avesh will join the Indian team for the T20 World Cup as a net bowler.
