Avesh Khan Shines Despite India A's Defeat

During the Duleep Trophy 2024 match between India A and India B, Indian pacer Avesh Khan was playfully teased by fans with 'RCB-RCB' chants at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Royal Challengers Bangalore's home ground. Avesh, representing India A, responded with good humor, encouraging the crowd to chant louder, a moment that went viral on social media. Despite the banter, Avesh managed to take two wickets in the first innings and one in the second, though India A was ultimately defeated by India B, which saw notable performances from Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan. Avesh's last appearance for India was in July 2024, and he is a potential candidate for India's upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, as selectors look to rest Jasprit Bumrah. The Duleep Trophy serves as crucial preparation for the international season, giving both regulars and fringe players a platform to showcase their skills.
