A towering presence in the fast-bowling department, Avesh Khan (born December 13, 1996) is a right-arm speedster from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Known for his ability to consistently clock speeds above 140 kph and extract steep bounce, Avesh first rose to prominence during the 2016 Under-19 World Cup, where he finished as India’s leading wicket-taker.
As of January 22, 2026, Avesh Khan is entering the IPL 2026 season as a retained pillar of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Following a dominant 2025 campaign where he spearheaded the attack alongside Mohammed Shami, he has been held by the franchise for ₹9.75 Crore. He recently spent time in South Africa training with the Durban Super Giants (DSG) during the SA20 to fine-tune his rhythm for the upcoming Indian summer.
