Avesh Khan Applauds His Delhi Capitals Captain Rishabh Pant Delhi Capitals’ player Avesh Khan was one of the positives of the now-suspended 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) who had returned with 14 wickets in 8 matches which came at a strike rate of 12.8 and economy rate of 7.7 as well. He was the joint second-highest wicket-taker of the cash-rich league as well. In an exclusive with Cricketnext, the right-arm fast medium bowler shared his time in IPL 2021 and also applauded the new captain of the Delhi Capitals – Rishabh Pant. Khan said that Pant was a good friend of him and the duo spent a lot of time off the field where they used to talk over many subjects. Image Source by twitter
“Rishabh and I are good friends. We spend time together ever after matches, sometimes we have dinner together as well. Our discussions revolve around cricket mostly,” stated Avesh Khan. Notably, Rishabh Pant has grown exceptionally as a cricketer in the last few months which started with the tour to Australia in December. He has given many match-winning performances for India as well with the bat not only in Australia but during the home series against England also. And, then Pant was handed over the captaincy of the Capitals this season in the absence of Shreyas Iyer, who was ruled out of the tournament due to a shoulder injury. And, Pant led the Capitals quite well, winning 6 of the 8 matches and placed them at the top of the points table before the competition was suspended earlier this month. “He displayed good leadership skills. The result is proof. He rotated his bowlers well. I enjoyed a lot playing under him. His form with the bat was excellent as well. He’s always encouraging us during the team meetings, always keeps the team above everything else,” further added Khan.

“Both back their players. They are young players and I think both are quite impressive as leaders. Both consult bowlers before placing fields and advise us on where to pitch the deliveries,” he concluded.
