After sealing a thrilling two-run victory for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with a brilliant final over against Rajasthan Royals on Saturday, pacer Avesh Khan had a heartwarming moment off the field that won fans’ admiration nationwide. While his impressive figures — 3 for 37, including a clutch final over defending nine runs — showcased his on-field heroics, it was a behind-the-scenes video released by LSG that truly captured everyone’s attention.

When Avesh’s mother appeared tearful on the video call, Nicholas Pooran gently teased her, asking, “Why are you crying?”
Avesh translated for his mother, saying, “Mummy, he’s asking why you’re crying.”
Pooran then sweetly added, “No crying. Smile, smile, smile only.”
His affectionate remark, followed by “Beta good, beta bhalo,” brought smiles all around and perfectly reflected the close-knit, emotional bond shared within the LSG squad. Shortly after, Avesh met his family in person, sharing warm hugs with his parents in a heartwarming moment filled with pride, love, and relief.
While Avesh’s calm under pressure secured a thrilling victory on the field, it was this post-match moment that highlighted the emotional depth of the sport — a beautiful reminder that cricket is not just about runs and wickets, but also about shared joy, heartfelt connections, and human stories.
