“How can I hit my own offer?”: R. Ashwin’s response to a reporter at a press conference

As Ravichandran Ashin moved into fifth place, there were many questions about the Rajasthan Royals’ strategy against the Chennai Super Kings in the 2023 Indian Premier League game on Wednesday. Ashwin ended up hitting 22 30s, but some wondered if his promotion in batting order had an effect on RR’s scoring speed. Ashwin was asked about his views on the subject at a press conference, and the royal family wagon baffled the reporter with his answer.

There are those who believe that Ashwin went into battle “at his own suggestion”. However, the veteran cricketer found this suggestion rather foolish.

“Sir, I don’t understand, how can I join the battle on my own proposal? If I could do that… I mean, I’m surprised people tend to believe that I lash out and run in. It never works. I don’t discuss. To be honest, in every match we play, I load myself, either as an exhibit or as a batsman. at a press conference.

“If you put a batter in this position and ask him to go in any order, he may not be willing to do it for any position. But for someone like me who doesn’t hit that much during the season, I’m glad that I get the chance to at least get some oil on,” Ashwin said.

Ashwin was named Man of the Match for his all-round performance against former CSK team. The 37-year-old not only scored 30 with 22 balls, but also played a key role in stopping the running flow of Chennai in the middle of the over.

At ball, the Tamil Nadu native, a non-ball player, took 2 wickets in just 25 runs from his quota of 4 overs. With the sacking of Ajinkya Rahane and Shivam Dube, Ashwin brought Rajasthan back into the game, just when Chennai seemed to be moving forward in the equation.
