India’s star player Avesh Khan joked with the crowd at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium during the Duleep Trophy match between India A and India B in Bengaluru. Avesh was playing for Shubman Gill-led India A in the Duleep Trophy match and on the third day of play, Saturday, many fans graced the game with their presence, cheering for their favourite stars.
Since the Chinnaswamy Stadium is the home stadium of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL, there were a lot of chants for RCB all over the ground. The Madhya Pradesh player was fielding in the open on the boundary line and in the process, the fans kept taunting him with their “RCB-RCB” chants. But Avesh did not lose his cool and asked the fans to increase the cheer. A video of the same has gone viral on social media where Avesh was seen asking the crowd to continue cheering.
