The opening match of the Duleep Trophy between India A and B, featuring some of India’s Test regulars, is heading towards a thrilling finish at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While India C beat India D in the other round-one match, India B, with a 240-run lead going into the final day, are in stranglehold on the game against India A. The 72-run partnership between Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant gave India B the much-needed boost after losing three wickets cheaply.
Both Sarfaraz and Pant got out before the third day was over, but with Washington Sundar still in the middle, India B will be hoping to extend their lead as far and wide as possible. However, the moment of the third day belonged to India A’s Avesh Khan, who was unfazed by fans heckling him with chants of “RCB… RCB”.
This is not the first time that the M Chinnaswamy Stadium has resonated with chants of the LPI RCB during the Duleep Trophy match. However, Avesh, due to his infamous helmet-throwing act in the IPL at the venue during the match between Lucknow Super Giants and RCB during IPL 2023, did more harm than good to his fans at the venue and in the city.
Avesh, however, was quite sporting. When he was fielding at the boundary, he incited the fans to cheer RCB even more as he put a hand over his ears to signal them to cheer louder.
Watch the video:
Avesh, who received his first Test match call-up for India on the tour of South Africa, has taken three wickets in the Duleep Trophy match so far, including that of Sarfaraz in the second innings. Avesh is yet to make his debut and will be keen to finish India B’s innings quickly to impress the selectors.
