IPL 2022 Mega Auction: Mentor Gambhir picks THIS player as Lucknow Super Giants' most important buy

Lucknow Super Giants' mentor Gautam Gambhir has picked uncapped player Avesh Khan as the team's most important buy on Day 1 of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction in Bengaluru.

In a conversation with Sports tak, Gambhir explained that Jason Holder and Quinton de Kock were the important buys for the franchise given their multi-utility capabilities.

However, he added that Avesh Khan was the most important buy for the team given the 25-year-old pacer can bowl at an express speed of 140-145 kmph and there were very few Indian bowlers who can bowl at that speed.

Earlier, Avesh Khan became the most-expensive uncapped player in IPL history after Lucknow Super Giants bagged him for a whopping Rs 10 crore at the IPL 2022 Auctions.
