IPL 2023: Ashwin Surprises All As He Comes Out To Open For Rajasthan Royals
RR vs PBKS: In the 8th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023), Punjab Kings posted a hefty target of 198 runs against Rajasthan Royals. Given a huge target, all the fans and experts obviously expected the explosive opening pair of Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal to come out and get things going for RR. However, captain Sanju Samson decided on a different opening pair which shocked everyone in the cricketing fraternity alike.
Rajasthan Royals' dynamic think tank didn't send in form Jos Buttler to open the innings as Ravichandran Ashwin came out to open the inning with Yashasvi Jaiswal. All were shocked to see Ashwin on the field opening, while Jos Buttler was held back who has been a thunderous opener over the years in T20 cricket and even smacked a match-winning half-century for his team in the last game.
