Who is Aman Khan?
Aman Khan was born on 23 November 1996 in Mumbai. He is a right-handed middle-order batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler and is known as an all-rounder. He made his List-A cricket debut for Mumbai in the 2021 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He then made his T20 debut in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he gradually made his mark as a finisher.
Before CSK, Aman Khan has played for Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals in IPL. He did not get many opportunities with these teams but he showed his ability by playing some important innings. His fighting inning of 51 runs played against Gujarat Titans is especially remembered, in which he showed how to play under pressure. He has scored 115 runs in the 12 IPL matches played so far, although the franchises value his aggressive thinking and ability to play long shots more than his statistics.
