The Ashwins hammering
Before the tournament began, Pune were hopeful and hyped up about their prospects in the competition. After all, they had MS Dhoni as their captain and Ravi Ashwin as their prime spinner. They also had another spinner—Murugan Ashwin.
M. Ashwin was already a highly-rated youngster who proved his talent in the local circuit. Hence, having both Ashwins gave fans a lot of hope, but it all went in vain as none of them could really drag their team out of the quagmire they were in.
The two bowled a combined 3 overs and conceded 43 runs in the process—effectively ending RPSG’s hope of defending a rain-affected target of 66 runs in just 5 overs.
