'As Soon As I Saw Rajasthan Royals Bid For Me, I Just Knew They Were Going To Pick Me'

By IANS News March 21, 2022 • 16:31 PM View: 2126

Fresh from a successful Test series against Sri Lanka, veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has joined up with his new franchise Rajasthan Royals and is raring to go ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

Having picked up 12 wickets at an average of only 15.08, the off-spinner played an important role in securing another home-series win for the Indian team. The series also saw him surpass India's World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev to become India's second-highest wicket-taker and the 8th highest overall in the history of Test cricket, with a tally of 442 scalps as it stands.
