Son of pan seller with Rs 500 income makes it to Indian cricket team

Budding speedster Avesh Khan has been selected in the Indian team for the upcoming Asian Games. Avesh has a tough road to success due to his humble background.

Avesh had to face a lot of hardships because of his weak financial background and a family to support. Before Avesh got selected for the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), his father used to run a small pan shop on the side of the road in Indore. He used to sustain his family with his daily income of just Rs 500.

Making matter worse, this meager income of Rs 500 per day also stopped when the local authorities took down his small pan shop to widen the road. However, this incident gave Avesh the required motivation to do something grand with his life and pursue a career in cricket with fierce determination.

Subsequently, with his hard work and dedication Avesh was selected for the India U-19 team. Avesh’s life changed thereafter and he never looked back. His talent as a fast bowler got recognized and he was soon selected in the IPL to play for the Delhi Capitals (DC). He was then bought by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for a whopping Rs 10 crore.

Based on his stellar shows in IPL, Avesh has been given a chance to make a splash in international cricket, playing for Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Team India in the Asian Games 2023.
