Edit: I happened to fix the issue myself. Answer below. In my case, I had to quit Docker.

To see the logs when launching the emulator, I had to use the terminal directly.
First,
$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/tools/emulator @device_name
. For me it was /Users/rakshakhegde/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator @Nexus_5X_API_O
.
In the logs it said that emulator: Failed to sync vcpu reg
. So from this SO post I realized that any other running VM can interfere to open the emulator. In my case, it was Docker running in the background. After I killed it, got my emulator running.
adb logcat works for me while running the emulator from AVD Manager in Android Studio 3.2.1
