Despite needing 17 runs off the last over, it seemed like they still had a chance to win. However, Avesh Khan, the Indian pacer, had different ideas. Chosen by skipper Sanju Samson to bowl the crucial final over, Avesh only conceded four runs. This restricted<strong> Delhi Capitals to a total of 173\/5 in their allotted 20 overs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espncricinfo.com\/cricketers\/avesh-khan-694211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avesh Khan<\/a>, who is 27 years old, began the over with a delivery aimed at the yorker length. Tristan Stubbs managed to hit it towards extra cover for a single. In the next delivery, <\/strong>Avesh bowled another yorker, which Axar Patel couldn&#8217;t guide towards third man, resulting in a dot ball. Following that, Avesh gave away a single, followed by<strong> another single by Stubbs<\/strong>. In the fifth delivery, Avesh bowled a low full toss, which Axar completely missed, followed by another single off a full delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/totalcric.com\/watch-tristan-stubbs-dual-maximums-off-ravi-ashwin\/\">Watch Tristan Stubbs\u2019 dual maximums off Ravi Ashwin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is the video of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espncricinfo.com\/cricketers\/avesh-khan-694211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avesh<\/a> Khan&#8217;s final over:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">6 balls. 6 beauties. \ud83e\udd2f<br><br>Take a bow, Avesh Khan \ud83d\ude47<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RRvDC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#RRvDC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IPLonJioCinema?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#IPLonJioCinema<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TATAIPL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#TATAIPL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JioCinemaSports?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#JioCinemaSports<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Q0RZXkAjiP\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/Q0RZXkAjiP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; JioCinema (@JioCinema) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JioCinema\/status\/1773413712369467437?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">March 28, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stubbs (44<em>) and Axar (15<\/em>) finished unbeaten for DC in what was a disappointing night for them. Nandre Burger and Yuzvendra Chahal from RR took two wickets each, while Avesh Khan also managed to dismiss a batsman.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, Riyan Parag played an impressive unbeaten innings, scoring 84 runs off 45 balls to help RR reach a total of 185\/5 in 20 overs. Parag showcased fine form, hitting seven fours and six sixes during his innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the match,<strong> Avesh said, &#8220;My strategy was clear; I aimed to bowl wide yorkers considering one side was longer. I gave myself 5 seconds before each ball to think and then execute my plan. If the batters played good shots, credit to them, but I always trusted my yorkers. Learning from Boult, Burger, and Sandy has been invaluable. The team management and Kumar Sangakkara have provided tremendous support, reducing our fear of failure. I&#8217;m always looking to improve and innovate new deliveries in T20s. Resting well, working hard in the nets has helped me refine my skills.<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this victory, RR sits second in the points table with four points from two matches, just behind CSK who lead with the same number of points but a better net run rate. SRH holds the third position, while KKR is in fourth place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avesh Khan&#8217;s fantastic performance in the final over helped Rajasthan Royals secure a victory against Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2024 match.
