In an interaction with the Indian Express, Avesh Khan revealed how Rishabh Pant helped him dismiss MS Dhoni. He said, “Only a few overs were left, and Pant knew Dhoni would try to hit out. But he also knew that Dhoni was playing after a gap of four months, and it won’t be easy for him. Pant told me to bowl just short of a length. I did just that. Dhoni tried to hit, but got an inside edge and was bowled.”

Avesh Khan scrapped 14 wickets in 7 games for DC in IPL 2021 and he was the highest wicket-taker for his team as well. He also disclosed that captain Rishabh Pant helped him by giving him signals from behind the stumps while he was about to begin his runup.

The young pacer explained, “When I was about to start my bowling run-up, I used to look at Pant. At that moment the batsman is watching only me, and not anyone else. So if Pant wants me to bowl a yorker, we have a sign for that. If he wants me to bowl wide outside off, I knew from his sign.”
