Avesh made his Indian T20 League debut for Bangalore in the 2017 edition. Ahead of the 2018 edition, he was picked to play for Delhi. He had a brilliant 2021 season with Delhi, where he grabbed 24 wickets, finishing as the leading wicket-taker for his side, and second overall in that edition. For the 15th season of the Indian T20 League, Avesh was signed by Lucknow, making him the most expensive uncapped player in the history of the League.
After impressing one and all with his performances in the Indian T20 League, he was picked to play for India in the T20I series against West Indies in February 2022. He made his T20I debut for India in that series and kept getting chances whenever the senior bowlers were rested. Avesh Khan is a very skillful operator and has a bright future ahead of him.

Avesh played for RCB against Delhi Daredevils in the 2017 IPL season and that remains his only IPL outing so far. Ironically, he will be a part of the Daredevils squad in the 2018 IPL and would be looking to make a mark in the tournament. Avesh is not a finished product by any means but he possesses all the raw materials required to represent India at the International level.
The 21-year-old right-arm pacer from Madhya Pradesh was one of the three Indian net bowlers for the recent Test series in South Africa. Basil Thampi and Ankit Rajpoot were the other two fast bowlers who traveled with Avesh to South Africa.
