Danish Kaneria, a former Pakistan leg-spinner, has lauded Indian captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid for believing in rookie fast bowler Avesh Khan despite his dismal recent performances.

According to Kaneria, the captain’s and coach’s encouragement gave Avesh the confidence to deliver a game-changing performance in the fourth T20I against the West Indies.

Avesh, 25, was under pressure heading into Saturday’s match in Lauderhill. He had been costly in the previous two meetings, giving away 31 runs in 2.2 overs in the second T20I and 47 runs in three overs in the third.

Some analysts advocated for his removal from the starting lineup.

Avvesh Khan Proved His Worth With Excellent Performance In The 4th T20I: Danish Kaneria

The Madhya Pradesh pacer was named Player of the Match after taking 2 for 17 against the Windies in the fourth T20I. Kaneria commented on his YouTube channel about the youngster’s outstanding performance:

“India gave a lot of confidence to Avesh Khan. He had proved very expensive in the previous games. In spite of that, he was given the backing. Captain Rohit Sharma, coach Rahul Dravid and the other members of the management gave him that confidence. And, Avesh proved his worth today (Saturday) with excellent performance.”

The fast bowler took the first two wickets in West Indies’ innings after India batted first and posted a competitive 191 for 5. Avesh caught Brandon King and bowled him for 13 runs with a leg cutter. He also sent Devon Thomas (1) back with another clever change of pace.

Commenting on India’s series win Kaneria said: “India crushed West Indies in Lauderhill and, with it, clinched the series as well. India were very consistent right through the series. There was some amazing cricket played by Team India. It wasn’t about individuals, but about a total team effort, which was evident in their performances. They dominated the series right through.”

India would be looking to win the series 4-1 when they play the 5th T20I.
