IPL Star Avesh Khan’s emotional story...

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won the 12th match of IPL played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai by 12 runs. Avesh Khan was instrumental in helping Lucknow win over Hyderabad. Avesh took 4 wickets for 24 runs in 4 overs. He dedicated these wickets to his mother after the match. There was a reason behind this act of his.

When Avesh was playing against SRH, his mother was admitted to the hospital in Indore.

Avesh’s father Aashiq Khan told media that Avesh’s mother has been admitted to CHL Hospital in Indore since Friday night due to urine infection. She also had fever. Now her condition is fine.

The father told that Avesh’s phone kept coming several times throughout the day to know her condition. His calls came before and after the match as well. All we said was that you don’t worry and just focus on your game.

Aashiq Khan told that everything is under control now. It is expected that Avesh’s mother will return home after recovering in two-three as she is already fine. The infection is also under control. The doctors said that she would be fine soon.

He said that he could not see the last over of Avesh. He had gone to offer Namaz at that time as it was fasting. However, when he later looked at the website, it was found that Lucknow Giants won by 4 wickets and Avesh got the game changer award.

This is the second win for Lucknow Giants in the tournament. While batting first, Lucknow had given a target of 170 to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). SRH’s team could only score 157 runs. For Lucknow, Avesh Khan took 4 and Jason Holder took 3 wickets.
