5 memorable moments from the Rising Pune Supergiants-Sunrisers Hyderabad match that don't fade away

3) The Ashwin experiment

Ashwin’s 29 was not enough for the Pune side

It has been claimed that MS Dhoni has lost faith in Ravi Ashwin, giving him lesser and lesser overs to bowl. However, even if he might not be giving him the ball, he entrusted him with the bat as he sent him to play at number 4.

And it almost worked. Almost. Well, at least he looked like the only one who could time it with the bat as the rest were just struggling to get on with it.

In a pitch that was a very difficult one to bat, he scored 29 runs from 25 balls—steadying the ship and providing the platform for the lower order to launch and finish the game.
