The right-arm pacer picked up the wickets of Brandon King and Devon Thomas in the match where India defeated the Caribbean side by 59 runs to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.

Speaking on Cricbuzz, Parthiv said that the young pacer would be pleased with his performance in the 4th T20I after struggling in the last few games. He added that Avesh showed in the 4th T20I that he has the ability to adapt to different conditions. He asserted:

“He’ll (Avesh) be very happy. We predicted that he would bowl his four overs. That’s what Rohit (Sharma) did. Rohit gave him that confidence and he bowled very cleverly today (Saturday). Avesh was brilliant, the way he came back. He showed that he had the ability to adapt to the situation.”

The 37-year-old further said that captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid have created a positive team environment and they give confidence to every player. He said:

“Every player who comes into the Indian team, he wants that sense of belonging, especially in that Indian dressing room. That’s something which Rahul bhai and Rohit Sharma understand really well. They give that confidence to every player that, ‘yes you belong here’.”

Parthiv further said that making a comeback to international cricket after going through a lean patch is never an easy thing. He said:

“Coming back in international cricket is a very tough thing, one of the toughest. Having a couple of big scars. He was perhaps coming in with a lot of doubts in his mind. After that, coming out and performing that way (was commendable).”
