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.

After failing to pick a single wicket in the first 3 T20Is, the 25-year-old rose to the occasion and picked up a crucial 4-wicket haul giving away just 18 runs.

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.

Crediting Head Coach Rahul Dravid for backing him, Avesh Khan said, 'He gives chances to everyone and intends to keep them for the long run.'Avesh went on to add that Dravid does not drop players after 2 bad performances, 'You cannot judge a player on the basis of 1 or 2 games, everyone is getting enough matches to prove themselves', he had said after his heroics with the ball.
