I now feel sad that yaar yeh sab cheez karna tha (Shouldn’t have done that)”.
Avesh received harsh criticism for his actions on the pitch, as well as for his excessive celebration. Avesh Khan struggled in the IPL 2023, taking only 8 wickets in 9 games for the Lucknow Super Giants. Avesh also stated that his performance in the league was not his greatest. “If you compare my previous two IPL seasons before this one, it went exactly as I wanted it to,” he remarked. Nonetheless, despite the fact that the season did not proceed as planned.” Avesh is a frequent starter for the Lucknow Super Giants and is an important component of the Lucknow camp.
