Avesh Khan, the Indian pace bowler who has been traded from the Lucknow Super Giants to the Rajasthan Royals ahead of the new season, recently joined the Royals training and during a chat game, he revealed that he is scared of RCB fans going into the 2024 season.

While speaking to the Rajasthan Royals media in a multiple choice questions and answer game, Avesh Khan was asked “Who are you most scared of? No ball? Wide ball? Full toss? RCB fans?” To which, Avesh Khan replied that he is more scared of RCB fans.

After terrific IPL 2021 and 2022 season, Avesh Khan was rather underwhelming last season, taking only 8 wickets from 9 matches with average of 35.38 and economy rate of 9.76. As a result, he has been traded to the Rajasthan Royals ahead of the IPL 2024 season, while Devdutt Padikkal has gone the other way.
