[Watch] Fans boo Avesh Khan with "RCB..RCB" chants during Duleep Trophy 2024 game in Bengaluru

Avesh Khan is part of the India A team in the Duleep Trophy 2024 tournament.

Indian fast bowler Avesh Khan had to deal with taunts from fans in Bengaluru during the India A vs India B game in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024 tournament.

The incident happened when Avesh was fielding near the boundary for his team during the match against India B at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

A section of the fans started “RCB…RCB” chants to tease the speedster. The fan did it as a payback for Avesh’s iconic celebratory act from last year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) season after a game between home team Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants.

Things got interesting further when even Avesh Khan poked the fans back with hand gestures.

Watch the video here:

In the IPL 2023 edition, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) won the thrilling clash against RCB in Bengaluru, and after the winning runs were scored, Avesh removed his helmet and slammed it on the ground aggressively. That moment became iconic instantly.
