To note, Ashwin remained unbeaten for his ten runs in just 3 deliveries which included one four and one maximum. However, he had a off-day with the ball as he spent 37 runs in his four overs without scalping any wickets. Excepet Ashwin, rest of the RR bowling unit got at least one wicket in their bank.
Nonetheless, Ashwin magic with the bat sealed the game for the Royals as they have now won four out of their last 5 encounters and are sitting right at the top of the points table.
“When you play quality opponents on a quality wicket, you get such games. Very happy to compete in such a game and come out on top. It was important to rotate our bowlers, they were playing some quality cricket and we had to respect that. The whole team came up well today and we could restrict them to around 170,” RR skipper Sanju Samson said after the match.
“The start we had, it shows how good a wicket this was. The new ball the quality of swing bowling was good and we had to respect that. But today Zampa coming was a way to match-up with the opponents. He was the match-up for Miller and almost got the wicket, but the catch was dropped. (On Hetmyer) He doesn’t like easy situations, we like putting him in such situations because he usually wins us games from such situations,” he added.
