[Watch] R. Ashwin turns 'director' for an ad shoot featuring RR teammates Chahal and Neesham 

Ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin turned director for an ad shoot that featured his Rajasthan Royal teammates James Neesham and Yuzvendra Chahal. The 35-year old shifted base to the Royals this season after plying his trade with the Delhi Capitals over the last couple of years.

Ashwin took to his official Instagram handle to share a glimpse of the ad shoot with his fans and expressed gratitude for getting the chance. He captioned the post:

"Every day gives us a chance to explore new boundaries and today I am so happy about directing this Ad Film starring jimmyneesham and @yuzi_chahal23 for @rajasthanroyals 🤩🙏 😂"

In the upcoming season, Ashwin will join forces with Chahal in the spin department for the Rajasthan Royals. Team management will be banking on the experienced pair to provide crucial breakthroughs throughout IPL 2022.

Ashwin and the rest of the RR players are currently in Mumbai, training hard to get ready for the season.
