The injury thwarted Ashwin’s remarkable comeback in white-ball cricket. While he looked off-colour in the ODIs in South Africa, he was in fine form in the T20 World Cup and the T20 series against New Zealand at home. IPL 2022 will be a big test for Ashwin for his T20I career, especially with Ravi Bishnoi grabbing the opportunity with both hands.
