After the match, Avesh said,
“I don’t want to be Mitchell Starc I don’t want to be a bowler, I want to be a good Avesh Khan. I always try to back every ball and bowl yorkers, which is my strength. I always feel it is better to take 10 extra seconds to bowl; it will help me perform better. I never bowl looking at the scoreboard. I just focus on my execution.”
