  • Ashwin said – Finch was not dismissed from Mankanding due to friendship

    R Ashwin did not dismiss RCB’s Aaron Finch from Mankding in the match between Delhi and RCB on Monday night. Revealing the reasons for Finch not being dismissed on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said – Finch did not run out due to friendship even after going out of the crease on non-strike during the IPL match on Monday. Left them as a final warning. We know each other quite well. In 2018, both of us were in the team of Kings XI Punjab. We have spent many evenings together.

    Ashwin said, “I was about to bowl, then I saw that Finch was far ahead of the crease. I stopped. I was thinking of getting out. Finch stopped. He started looking at me, but did not come to the crease. He stayed there. I don’t know why they stayed. ” Ashwin dismissed batsman Jose Butler in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019 when he was out of the crease on non-strike. Ashwin was the captain of the Kings XI Punjab team at that time. Ashwin was criticized by many cricketers. At the same time, before the IPL 2020, Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting said that he would talk to Ashwin about not being dismissed from Mankanding.

  • Ashwin’s Stern Message to Out-of-form KXIP

    More often than not, a target of 133 would not be defended in today’s day and age of T20 cricket. But in the on-going season of the IPL, the Sunrisers Hyderabad have not only defended 133, but also previously managed to defend 119. On Thursday evening, when they achieved one of the said feats, the opponents or victims of some fantastic bowling and fielding was the Kings XI Punjab.

    The KXIP side which has Chris Gayle at the top of the order along with KL Rahul began in their usual busy manner before Rashid Khan and Basil Thampi engineered what would be eventually a middle order collapse. After the loss of the two openers, the Punjab batsmen could manage only another 62 runs as they crumbled under pressure and succumbed to a 13-run defeat.

     A rather disappointed KXIP captain R Ashwin was quoted by the Hindustan Times saying, “These things (batting collapse) happen in this kind of a tournament and Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling made the difference. We lost wickets throughout the middle (overs) and I thought we kept attacking a little too much and lost few wickets,” he said after the match.

    For Ashwin’s side, the middle-order has been a problem and it was at the forefront once again. For the Punjab franchise, the main scoring batsmen so far have been Gayle, Rahul and Karun Nair. The rest together total a little over 100 runs in the season.
    After the loss, Ashwin said he hoped that batsmen will pull up their socks and come good in due course of time.
    “We do have finishers but they are not coming off. You won’t get all the puzzles solved at once. Hopefully, some of the people whom we have trusted will come good at the right time. That’s how you get going. They are quality players,” he said.

  • Kapil Dev Backs Ravichandran Ashwin’s Leg-Spin Bowling

    Ravichandran Ashwin, the off-spinner, has been bowling more of leg-spins these days and it is quite evident in the ongoing Indian Premier League 2018. Some have criticised his more-than-usual variations but India legend Kapil Dev has backed his leg-breaks. Everybody has a different bowling attack, depending on which pitch they are playing. But what we have come to know from the first or second IPL (till) now, is that the most successful bowler to come out is the leg-spinner,” Kapil Dev said. “Every team has their leg-spinner. Even a bowler like (Ravichandran) Ashwin, he likes to bowl more leg-spin than off spin. That shows the leg-spinners are more successful than anybody else,” he added.

    Ashwin is leading Kings XI Punjab this season, after having turned out for Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiant in the past editions.

    In the current edition of the T20 league, leg-spinners have been largely successful with Mumbai Indians’ rookie Mayank Markande shining in the first three games for his franchise.

    SunRisers Hyderabad, too, have a good leg-spinner in Rashid Khan of Afghanistan, while his compatriot Mujeeb Ur Rahman is also a wrist spinner who plays under Ashwin.

    Even the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore possess a successful leggie in Yuzvendra Chahal.

    The 59-year-old former cricketer pointed out how a leggie like Karn Sharma had edged out experienced offie Harbhajan Singh for CSK vs Rajasthan Royals match on Friday.

    “Karn is playing, not Harbhajan (Singh), so Chennai is playing with two leg-spinners (the other being Imran Tahir).So, everybody is there with an extra leg-spinner. I think that is where in spinners you don’t see so many off-spinners, you don’t see left-arm spinners so much, but you see leg spinners definitely,” Kapil added.
