Pace bowler Avesh Khan was one of the positives in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League before it was suspended owing to the COVID-19 as it started infecting players and support staff inside the bio-bubble. Khan, who was playing for the Delhi Capitals side, has finished as the joint second-highest wicket-taker of the cash-rich league claiming 14 wickets in 8 matches which came at a strike rate of 12.85 and economy rate of 7.7 as well.
However, in a recent chat with Cricketnext, Khan has shared that he has constantly tried to improve his bowling from his Under-19 days as well. He again shared that he has worked hard on developing a slower delivery that was not in his armoury before and he also focuses on how to execute that well too.
“I have always aimed at improving myself. I didn’t use to bowl slower ones so I developed one. Plus, I have worked on my execution. During death overs, you have to get everything right because the batters are going for big hits and there’s some pressure. So in such situations, you have to nail your yorkers. The same goes for Powerplay,” stated Khan.

However, he further shared that he had an attitude of bowling ‘bindaas’ as well. He again said that he bowled according to the situation of the match and did not like to take the pressure of the match as well.
“I bowl bindaas (carefree). What I feel is the appropriate delivery in any given situation, I go for it. The key is to not take the pressure. If you are free-minded, positive results will follow,” Avesh Khan again shared.

Avesh Khan gave plenty of performances for the Delhi Capitals in the 2021 edition as well. In the IPL, he did exceptionally well against Rajasthan Royals where he claimed 3-32 in 4 overs. His wickets were included Shivam Dube, David Miller and Riyan Parag as well which helped him to earn the praise of Head Coach Ricky Ponting.
