Ashwin's Cheeky Advice: Avesh Khan for LSG vs RCB!
15 Apr
Summary
- Ashwin humorously suggested Avesh Khan at non-striker's end for LSG.
- LSG has a winning record in two previous matches at Chinnaswamy.
- Ashwin believes LSG can defeat RCB with strong bowling plans.
Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has humorously suggested an unconventional tactic for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Ashwin proposed that LSG should place bowler Avesh Khan at the non-striker's end, humorously noting his past experiences in thrilling run chases from that position.
Ashwin elaborated that LSG possesses the capability to defeat the in-form RCB side, particularly if they execute their bowling strategies effectively during the powerplay. He highlighted the availability of fit bowlers like Mohsin Khan and Shami, along with Prince Yadav's current form, suggesting a strong fast-bowling attack could unsettle RCB's batters.
The upcoming encounter is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. LSG has a commendable, albeit brief, history at this venue, having secured victories in both of their previous appearances. Their last visit in IPL 2024 saw them win by 28 runs, aided by strong performances from Quinton de Kock and Mayank Yadav.
