R Ashwin captained Dindigul Dragons in TNPL 2025

On the cricketing front, R Ashwin was last seen in action during the 2025 Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). Under his captaincy, Dindigul Dragons finished as the runners-up of the season.

The side suffered a massive 118-run defeat to the Sai Kishore-led Dream Tiruppur Tamizhans in the final. Ashwin registered figures of 4-0-36-0 in the summit clash.

The Dindigul-based side were required to chase down a 221-run target. Opening the batting for his team, Ashwin was dismissed after scoring one run from four deliveries.

The seasoned campaigner looked in impressive batting form with the bat in the edition. He was the fifth-highest run-getter of the TNPL 2025, amassing 297 runs across 10 innings at a strike rate of 153.89. He picked up 13 wickets with the ball, the third most in the season.

The star spinner was part of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) camp for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). However, he endured a tough season on the homecoming, claiming seven scalps from nine outings at an economy rate of 9.12.

CSK finished at the bottom of the points table, bagging their first-ever wooden spoon. The five-time champions secured four wins from 14 league fixtures.
