IPL 2021: My dream of taking Mahi bhai’s wicket is fulfilled, says Avesh Khan

Delhi Capitals’ (DC) quick Avesh Khan had jumped up in celebration when he packed back Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain MS Dhoni in the second affair of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Saturday.

Speaking after Delhi’s magnificent seven-wicket win over the three-time IPL champions, Khan, 24, revealed why getting the charismatic skipper’s wicket was a dream come true moment for him.

“Three years ago, I had a chance to take Mahi bhai’s wicket, but somebody had dropped the catch. But now my dream of taking Mahi bhai’s wicket is fulfilled, so I am very happy about it,” Avesh said in a release issued by the franchise.

“Since he has not played competitive matches for some time, we had planned to put pressure on him and because of that pressure I could take his wicket,” he added.

“I was quite happy with my performance in our first match, and I am even more happy because the team has won. I put the team in a good position with the wickets of Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni) and Faf du Plessis,” he further expressed.

“I was happy with the way I carried out the role given to me by the team management. After winning the first match, everyone’s confidence goes up. Now, we have to maintain the momentum,” he signed off.

Delhi will now face Rajasthan Royals on April 15 in Mumbai’s Wankhede stadium while the Yellow Brigade will be up against the KL Rahul-led Punjab Kings a next day later at the same venue.
