The T20 format is often termed as a batsmanโs game, rather than a bowlerโs game due to the power-hitting capabilities of the batters and the high run-scoring trends. But sometimes, bowlers too have the final laugh, and the Indian pacer, Avesh Khan was one of them on Monday during India’s second T20I against West Indies when he cleaned up Brandon King
Chasing a below-par 139 against India in the second T20I of the five-match series, West Indies could not have an ideal flow while batting as they were hoping for during the innings break on Friday at Warner Park. Their opener, Brandon King was doing well for the team and they at on 71/1 after 9.3 overs but Indian bowlers pulled off a spirited performance to keep them in the hunt.
One of the most prized West Indies wickets that India took in the 16th over, was bowled by Avesh Khan. The Indian speedster, who came in the lineup to replace Ravi Bishnoi, was smashed straight down the ground for six by Brandon King. The West Indies opener too did not play in the first match, and came in style with a stylish fifty.

However, Just after getting smashed for a huge six, Avesh Khan came up with a clinical yorker. King, batting on 68 off 52 balls, had no clue how to defend it before it rattled the stumps. Predictably, Avesh brought out a huge roar for cleaning King up, and the Indian fans, as well as the Indian players leaped in joy.
Here is the video of the fiery yorker from Avesh Khan:
