IND vs WI 2022: "The run machine" - Netizens brutally troll Avesh Khan for costly spell in 3rd T20I

Avesh Khan had to face the wrath of fans after his expensive spell.

Team India's Avesh Khan was taken to the cleaners by the West Indies batters during the third T20I of the ongoing five-match series on Tuesday (August 2) at Warner Park in St Kitts. The right-armer struggled to find his rhythm and ended up bowling a costly spell.

Avesh Khan had an economy rate of 15.7 to his name, as he conceded 47 runs from his three overs and remained wicketless. Notably, Sharma backed the pacer to bowl the crucial 19th over, even after he had given away 30 runs off his first two.

The 25-year-old started well and his first four deliveries went for just five runs. However, he missed his mark later on and Shimron Hetmyer hit him for two stunning sixes on the last two balls.

Incidentally, Avesh had a forgettable outing in the second game as well, finishing with an economy rate of 13.3.

A number of fans took to social media to troll Avesh Khan after yet another underwhelming performance. Here are some of the reactions:

Avesh Khan is not ready for International cricket. No variations or confidence. Yorkers were his strength but now it seems he is trembling under pressure.
