'Jos Got Injured While Fielding And Was Getting Stitches', Samson Reveals Reason Behind Ashwin Opening With Jaiswal

By IANS News April 06, 2023 • 16:20 PM View: 1053

Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson has defended his decision to bring spinner Ravichandran Ashwin as an opener against Punjab Kings (PBKS), saying that regular opener Jos Buttler suffered an injury scare while taking a catch and had a stitch on his finger.

Chasing 198, RR started with a strange batting line-up as Ravichandran Ashwin came in to open with Yashasvi Jaiswal because Buttler had gone off the field immediately after taking a catch in the last over of the Punjab Kings' innings to dismiss Shahrukh Khan.
