IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: Hits and Misses

#2 Miss: Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin has brought a much-needed change to the Kings XI outfit this year. His captaincy has been refreshing and effective.

With the ball, he’s been trying quite a few things. He is constantly bowling leg-spin and has performed decently.

He mostly bowls leg-spin to right-handers while he switches back to off-spin for left-handers.

In this game, for a change, Ashwin didn’t come onto bowl in the powerplay. However, he was taken for runs in the four overs he bowled.

Every over he bowled went for more than 10 runs as he conceded 53. Williamson and Manish Pandey picked most of his variations and the duo struck boundaries at will against Ashwin before Shakib Al Hasan smashed the Tamil Nadu spinner for a couple of sixes in the final over.

Ashwin the bowler had an off day as he failed to pick up a wicket and also went for more than 13 runs per over.
