[Watch] RR all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin faces bowling coach Lasith Malinga's yorkers in the nets

Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin recently faced bowling coach Lasith Malinga's Yorkers in a net session ahead of their game against the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023 on Sunday, April 30.

Ravichandran Ashwin has been a vital performer for Rajasthan this season. He has scalped 11 wickets across eight matches and is one behind Yuzvendra Chahal's tally, who is leading the wicket-charts for RR.

On the batting front, Ashwin has chipped in with a couple of cameos for his side in the middle order. He also won the Player of the Match award for his all-round contributions in the away win against CSK earlier this month.

The Rajasthan franchise gave fans a glimpse of Ashwin's batting preparations in the nets by sharing a reel on their official Instagram handle. In the video, the 36-year-old can be seen facing Malinga's slinging yorker-length deliveries. RR captioned the post:

"Wait till the end 🤌😂#RoyalsFamily | #HallaBol | #IPL2023 | #reelkarofeelkaro | #reelitfeelit | #explore |."
