Asia Cup due to fever related illness, a senior BCCI official confirmed the development on Tuesday. Seamer Deepak Chahar, who was in stand by for the tournament, has been drafted in. "Avesh has fever and he has also got sinus related problems which has escalated post illness.
Pacer Avesh Khan has been ruled out of the remainder of the Asia Cup due to fever related illness, a senior BCCI official confirmed the development on Tuesday. Seamer Deepak Chahar, who was in stand by for the tournament, has been drafted in. "Avesh has fever and he has also got sinus related problems which has escalated post illness. It will not be possible for him to take further part in the tournament. Deepak Chahar is already there and he will be drafted in the main squad," a senior BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Avesh has been in poor form since the tour of West Indies and the Indian team management's worries increased after he was hit for 50-plus runs by Hong Kong batters.
Former India pacer Lakshmipathy Balaji feels Deepak Chahar should've played for the team in the Asia Cup, especially considering that star fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will miss the tournament. While Bumrah was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury, the Indian selectors decided not to pick Shami. Meanwhile, Chahar, who made a return to the side after a long injury lay-off during the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, has been named as a reserve player for the Asia Cup.
Indian medium pacer Deepak Chahar took a leaf out of Ravichandran Ashwin's book on Monday as he 'Mankaded' Zimbabwe opening batter Innocent Kaia at the non-striker's end on the very first delivery of the home side's chase in the 3rd ODI at Harare. Chahar ran in and before delivering the ball he removed the bails with Kaia way out of his crease.
After gaining an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, Team India would look to wrap up the series on Monday and register a clean sweep. In both the ODIs so far, Team India bowled first and bundled out the hosts for below par totals of 189 and 161. In the second ODI, all eyes were on KL Rahul on how he goes about his batting, but the stand-in skipper failed to leave a mark as he was dismissed after scoring just 1 run.
KL Rahul on Thursday registered his first win as India captain as he led them to a 10-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the first ODI in Harare. Rahul, returning to the field for the first time since IPL 2022, did not get a chance to bat, but he did impress fans before the match even got underway. As the two teams lined up for the national anthems, Rahul was seen chewing a gum. Before India's national anthem began, he was seen taking the chewing gum out of his mouth.
Sanju Samson produced a responsible unbeaten 43 after a clinical bowling display, led by pacer Shardul Thakur, as India sailed to a five-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the second ODI to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series at Harare Sports Club on Saturday. It was not quite a domination unlike the first ODI but the paltry 162-run target meant that the KL Rahul-led side did not have to sweat much despite a mid-innings jolt. Sent into bowl, comeback man Thakur (3/38 in seven overs) brilliantly set it up and became the wrecker-in-chief as the Indian bowlers once again came out on top to skittle out Zimbabwe for 161.

As It HappenedIn the absence of Deepak Chahar who missed out after his exploits in the last ODI, Thakur made his presence felt and rocked the Zimbabwe top-order with his double blow in the 12th over.
