Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Avesh Khan did something no one was expecting— a game-changing final over. LSG defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by only 2 runs. Without Avesh Khan and his pinpoint yorkers, Super Giants probably couldn't make their way to the touchline.
After the match, Avesh Khan's mother couldn't control her tears, tears of joy. An emotional moment after a fierce battle at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, when mother and son hugged each other. Every mother on the planet dreams that one day her child will do something big, something she can be proud of. Avesh did that. The night will forever be scripted on their memory for life, her tears said without uttering any word.
Lucknow Super Giants, from their official social media account, shared a video capturing the warm son and mom moment. Avesh and his teammates asked her not to cry: "Don't cry, don't cry, smile only." But it was a mother's heart; after witnessing her son's match-winning performance on the field and becoming the hero, an outburst of emotions was natural. Avesh Khan's mother was waiting inside the lounge, came out with tears, and hugged Avesh as soon as he arrived.

Rajasthan Royals was chasing LSG's 180; the match was within the grip of RR batters until Avesh stood tall with his yorkers. He took the wicket of dangerous-looking Shimron Hetmyer and offered only 6 runs in the 20th over. RR batters tried their best to take their team to the victory line, but Avesh's yorkers were too good to defend the total.
Over-all, in his 4 overs spell, the Indian pacer took 3 scalps with 9.25 economy rate. He took the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer gradually.
