I always back my yorkers: Avesh Khan
Analysing his bowling plan in the death overs against Delhi Capitals, Avesh Khan talked about backing his yorkers when the batters are looking to attack. “My plan was clear, one side was longer and I wanted to bowl wide yorkers. I gave myself 5 seconds every ball to think and then execute the plan. If the batters play a good shot, it’s good for him, but I always back my yorkers,” Avesh Khan said after his game.
