Avesh Khan (3-44) played a key role in the Rajasthan Royals eliminating the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by four wickets to set up a qualifying date with Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday night at the MA Chidambaram International Cricket Stadium in Chennai.
Avesh started the Eliminator on the wrong foot. He conceded 30 runs without a wicket in his first two overs, but made amends in his last two overs where he conceded just14 runs. In fact, in his last over—the 19th of the RCB innings—Avesh bagged two crucial wickets and conceded just five runs. Avesh accounted for Rajat Patidar, Mahipal Lomror, and Dinesh Karthik to derail RCB’s death-over onslaught.
