Domestic career

edit

Awana made his first-class debut for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in 2007. He played five games that season and picked up 12 wickets. He impressed in the next season, picking up 28 wickets from 7 matches at an average of 24. He also got two five-wicket hauls and a ten-for that season. He was dropped from the team during the 2010/11 Ranji Trophy as he failed to get enough wickets. However, he had a highly impressive first-class season in 2011/12. He had 35 scalps to his name from just 7 matches at an average of 25, picking three five-fors. His good bowling was rewarded as he was selected to play for North Zone in the 2011/12 Deodhar Trophy. He continued his brilliant bowling in the one-day format too, as he got figures of 6/49 against Central Zone in the only match he played that tournament before joining the Kings XI Punjab squad for IPL 2012. He took most wickets in the 2011–12 Vijay Hazare Trophy, India's domestic 50 over tournament.
