Rajasthan's 'local' ran on the Chennai track and MS Dhoni's team lost. Obviously, after reading so much you must have got thinking. But, before you get too entangled, let us tell you that here running on the local track does not mean any train or the tracks. We have just used these words for the pitch of Chennai and the local boy who has added spice to the victory of the Rajasthan Royals against CSK.
Chepauk in Chennai may be the home ground of CSK. It is considered his fort. But, just like Abhimanyu knew the skill of breaking doors in Mahabharata, in the same way, Ashwin, a local boy in Rajasthan Royals, also knew very well how to win his fort from CSK in the battle of IPL.
First swung the bat, then attacked the ball
Rajasthan Royals managed to script their victory against Chennai Super Kings as local boy Ashwin put up a stellar performance. His performance left an impact on the match, for which he was adjudged Player of the Match.
Now the question is whether Ashwin did this. So the answer is his all-around game shown with ball and bat. Rajasthan Royals batted first against Chennai Super Kings and scored 175 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. In this, Ashwin played his role by scoring 30 runs in 22 balls. He scored these runs while batting at number 5.
Rajasthan had promoted Ashwin to batting and he got the benefit of it. Regarding his promotion in batting, Ashwin said, “People must have been surprised by the role that was given to me. But, I know my limits and strength. I enjoy batting. Every inning that I go out to play, I am always ready for that. ,
This was the first chapter of Ashwin's performance. He wrote the second chapter with the ball, breaking the back of the CSK middle order. Ashwin took only 2 wickets for 25 runs in 4 overs. But, one of these wickets was of the batsman who laid the foundation for CSK's victory in the last match. Ashwin once again proved his superiority over Rahane in T20 cricket by taking his wicket. Apart from this, he took another wicket of Shivam Dubey.
