Ravichandran Ashwin’s captaincy has been one of the talking points of this season’s IPL. However, he hasn’t quite been able to have an impact with the ball. Despite bowling four overs in every game, he’s picked up just 6 wickets in this IPL at an economy nearing 8.

The KXIP skipper has usually bowled a couple of overs in the powerplay in most of the games, but he decided to hold himself back in this game. He came into bowl in the 8th over and started well. He gave just 10 runs in his first two overs but was taken for runs in the next two.

The Tamil Nadu off-spinner conceded 24 runs in his last two overs and finished with figures of 0/34. He also promoted himself to No. 3 but that move backfired as he was out for a two-ball duck trying to go for the big shots.
