Batting at No. 3, Ashwin smashed a 38-ball 50 against Delhi Capitals (DC) here on Wednesday night, albeit in a losing cause.
Talking more about the work he put in before the IPL, Ashwin said: “I was in good batting rhythm before the start of the season. Worked a little bit on my batting, like tried to transfer my body wait forward, made a little switch in my technique. Pretty good feel about the knock but it didn’t come in a winning cause.”
RR are currently placed third in the standings with 14 points from 12 games, while DC are positioned at fifth spot with 12 points from as many games.
Ashwin said RR need to bounce back strongly in their remaining two games to ensure their place in the play-offs.
“Back end of the tournament is always pressure. Hopefully, we can turn it on and string a couple of wins together,” he said.
Mitchell Marsh finally got his form back with an all-round show to guide DC to a comfortable win.

After the bowlers restricted RR to 160 for six, Marsh’s 62-ball 89 and David Warner’s unbeaten 52 off 41 balls helped DC overhaul the target with 11 balls to spare. Marsh also picked up two wickets.
“In the powerplay, the ball was swinging and nipping around, so one of the tougher powerplays I have batted since I started playing T20 cricket. We assessed that we have to get through powerplay unscathed,” Marsh said.
Marsh also heaped praise on fellow Australian and DC teammate David Warner.
“I just love batting with Davey (Warner). We have had a lot of great partnerships.
“He is someone I have looked up to for a long time now and I feel very lucky (that) over the last 18 months I was able to bat with him a lot,” he said.
