LSG vs RCB: They're Composed, Confident, And Consistent - Jason Holder On Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan

Ahead of Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) crucial clash against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Eliminator, all-rounder Jason Holder showered praise on the young Indian pace-duo of Mohsin Khan and Avesh Khan.

LSG’s opening pair of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock have stolen the limelight on most occasions but the bowling attack has been equally consistent and has pulled out the team from rough situations.

While it has been a combined bowling effort from the LSG attack, the credit mostly goes to Avesh and Mohsin, the latter in particular who is also playing his first season.

“Both Avesh and Mohsin have been outstanding in their own right. They’ve shown a lot of maturity, which is pleasing for two young fast-bowlers. They are extremely confident and have consistently performed under pressure on the big stage.”

“That’s the most promising thing about them. They are very composed, which bodes well for their future as well as the future of Indian cricket,” Holder said ahead of the clash in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda.

Mohsin has played 8 matches this season and has taken 13 wickets at a stunning economy of 5.93 while Avesh has taken 17 wickets in 12 matches, including best figures of 4/24.

“I really want to move up the order in T20 cricket” – Jason Holder

Holder also stated that he would like to bat higher up the order as he is more than capable of playing as a pure batter. Additionally, the Windies all-rounder can also finish off an innings on a high as he has proven in the season already.

“Yes, I really want to move up the order in T20 cricket. It will give me more time and more deliveries to settle at the crease. I can then become a lot more destructive and put pressure on the opposition.”

“That’s [batting promotion] certainly a long-term goal. Hopefully, I can do the necessary things to move up the order and play more match-winning knocks,” he further mentioned.
