Rohit Sharma-led reigning champions India have qualified for the Super 4 round of the 2022 Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates with successive wins in both their league matches. First, after defeating arch-rival Pakistan by 5 wickets, India avenged their first defeat in the World Cup last year at the same Dubai stadium and won by 40 runs against Hong Kong. In this series, Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, the two main fast bowlers, are out due to injury, so the other bowlers are playing as responsible as possible and fighting for victory.
But it can be said that the young fast bowler Avesh Khan, who has been given a chance to replace the injured, is acting as a conduit to provide runs, which puts pressure on India and other bowlers. He made his home debut against the West Indies last February and performed somewhat well in the IPL 2022 series.

Run Machine Bowler:
He bowled 19 runs in just 2 overs at a poor economy of 9.50 among the quality Indian bowlers who bowled Pakistan for 147 runs. Fans criticizing him as the next successor of Ashok Dinda, who is such a bad bowler that the Hong Kong batsmen are hitting in a barrage, have made a strong demand to remove him in the upcoming matches.
In this case, former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria has requested the Indian administration to remove Avesh Khan, who works to put pressure on bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and has said that Sahal, who is stumbling before the important Super 4 round, should be given a chance to Ravi Bishnoi instead of seeing him as a senior. Here’s what he talked about on his YouTube page:

“Indian bowling has become a concern. Avesh Khan in particular gives plenty of runs in every match. Perhaps like the match against Hong Kong, the entire pressure and burden falls on Bhuvneshwar Kumar when Arashdeep Singh delivers the runs. Similarly, Chahal also struggles to execute his tricks successfully. If he can’t bowl more leg-spin balls then give Ravi Bishnoi a chance in return. “He has the ability to fly fast in the air and he will be useful in a venue like Dubai.”
Similarly, he welcomed the fact that Hardik Pandya was rested due to workload in the match against Hong Kong and said that Rishabh Pant’s selection for that was not the right decision. He said that while dropping an all-rounder he should have picked an all-rounder like Deepak Hooda and criticized the team management for choosing Rishabh Pant without faith in Dinesh Karthik. He further spoke about this as follows.
“Managing Hardik Pandya’s workload is crucial with the T20 World Cup coming up soon. Give Dinesh Karthik or Rishabh Pant a chance. But give only one fixed chance. Similarly, if it were me, I would give Deepak Hooda a chance while giving Hardik Pandya a break. Because he will make a lot of difference in bowling.”
