Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin once again hogged the headlines with his bizarre batting stance against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Wednesday at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai. Ashwin was promoted after Rajasthan lost their best batter Jos Buttler, who is the `Orange Cap` holder of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) with three centuries.
Ashwin`s promotion to three as a pinch hitter began to work well when he carted a brace of fours off Shardul Thakur; a neat whip over mid-wicket was followed by a crisp punch through extra cover. Ashwin further took a four with a cut through point and followed it up by dancing down the pitch to hit a six off Axar Patel in the final over of the powerplay.
