Correct Answer Pattern
Avesh Khan IPL career bowling phases (2017–2025, Cricsheet):
Phase Balls Wickets Economy Powerplay (1–6) 581 22 9.28 Middle (7–15) 510 29 8.09 Death (16–20) 528 36 9.93 Overall career (2017–2025): 87 wickets · economy 9.12. Floor: ≥15 balls (all phases well above floor). Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0. Canonical: players.cricketstudio.ai/players/avesh-khan.
Required Concepts
- Avesh Khan's best economy phase is middle overs (8.09) — he contains runs better in overs 7–15 than in powerplay or death
- His death economy (9.93) is high, which is common for pace bowlers who bowl in the 16–20 phase when scoring rates are highest
- 36 death wickets show he is an attacking option despite the high economy — wickets at the death often justify expense
Required Metrics
- PP: 581 balls · 22 wkts · 9.28 econ
- Middle: 510 balls · 29 wkts · 8.09 econ (best economy phase)
- Death: 528 balls · 36 wkts · 9.93 econ
- Career total: 87 wickets, economy 9.12 (teams: DC, LSG, RCB, RR across 2017–2025)
Citation Behavior
- Show all three phases in a table.
- State floor: ≥15 balls (all qualify — 500+ balls per phase).
- Specify this is pre-2026 Cricsheet data; IPL 2026 is tracked separately.
Caveats
- Economy of 9.12 overall is high; context: Avesh bowled in all three phases including death overs where 9–11 is typical for pace bowlers.
- Career spans multiple franchises: DC, LSG, RCB, RR — team context changes across seasons.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Avesh Khan was too expensive to be effective in IPL." (87 wickets from his career shows significant wicket-taking impact. Economy of 9.12 is typical for a multi-phase pace bowler; his best phase (middle overs, 8.09 econ) shows he can also contain.)
