Avesh Khan was the star will the ball as he helped the Men in Blue force a decider in the 5-match series with a huge 82-run victory in the 4th T20I vs South Africa.

Even though the pacer had figures of 0/35, 0/17 and 0/35 in the first 3 matches, the Rishabh Pant-led side kept faith in him and allowed him to play the crucial 4th T20I as well.
