Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the integral members of India’s Test squad over the past many years. Last year, Ashwin received a call-up to the T20I squad as well, as he represented the team in the World Cup in October-November in the United Arab Emirates. In the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League, the 35-year-old off-spinner has been one of the pivotal members of the Rajasthan Royals – not only with the ball. Ashwin has also been utilized as a batter in the lower order and recently scored an important knock during the game against Chennai Super Kings (40* off 23 balls), steering the side to a five-wicket victory and securing a second-place finish for the Royals.

Is he trying to do too much? But that’s just me. If you take that out of me, you won’t get this person. So yes, I come with a lot of problems! If I’m utlizied and if I’m given the form of expressions I require, I can explore boundaries,” the off-spinner further said. Ashwin is set to return to action in Qualifier 2 of the 2022 Indian Premier League, as Royals meet the Royal Challengers Bangalore for a place in the final of the season.
