Rajasthan Royals' Ravichandran Ashwin said it "felt like a million dollars" after his all-round brilliance fired them to victory over the Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai on Friday and sealed second spot in the Indian Premier League playoff race.
Rajasthan Royals on Friday qualified for the IPL 2022 playoffs after beating Chennai Super Kings by five wickets in Match 68 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Chasing a target of 151, RR lost the wicket of Jos Buttler in the second over. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 59 off 44 balls to put RR in a comfortable position. Ravichandran Ashwin remained unbeaten on 40 off just 23 balls as RR chased down the total with two balls to spare. Earlier, CSK could only manage a total of 150 for six, despite Moeen Ali's 57-ball 93.
Rajasthan Royals currently have 16 points from 13 games in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table. A win in their last league match on Friday against Chennai Super Kings will take them into the play-offs. Out of their last three matches, RR have won two and hence would fancy their chances going into the game against the defending champions. So, the mood in the RR camp is very upbeat and their star trio Yuzvendra Chahal, Devdutt Padikkal and KC Cariappa played a prank on teammate Prasidh Krishna.
With the T20 World Cup set to begin in October this year, Rajasthan Royals (RR) star Yuzvendra Chahal will be looking to make the cut for Team India's squad. The spinner currently leads the Purple Cap race in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season with 24 wickets in 13 games and RR are also closing in on qualifying for the playoffs. Speaking on ESPNcricinfo, the 31-year-old was asked about whom did he enjoy bowling most with between Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin. After a thought, Chahal chose Kuldeep and also explained his selection.
Ravichandran Ashwin, batting at No. 3 for Rajasthan Royals against Delhi Capitals, wowed all with his batting talent. He has been used as a top-order batter on several occasions and on Wednesday, he reached a big milestone in his T20 career as he scored his maiden half-century in the format, in what was an entertaining knock as he hit two sixes and four fours to reach his fifty in just 37 balls. He top-scored for his team to take the score past the 150-mark, but ultimately RR lost the match by eight wickets.
Ravichandran Ashwin says the work done on his batting technique before the start of the season has yielded results in the IPL, where Rajasthan Royals have given him the opportunity to bat higher up the order. Batting at no 3, Ashwin smashed a 38-ball 50 against Delhi Capitals here on Wednesday night, albeit in a losing cause. "No license has been given. Starting from the season it was communicated to me properly that I will be used as a batter up the order. We had a few practice games where I opened also.
Since his retirement from cricket, Wasim Jaffer has astonished his followers with his ability to turn any situation into a meme, or at least find the perfect meme for any situation. On Wednesday, Ravichandran Ashwin - often used up the order this season by Rajasthan Royals - scored his maiden T20 half-century in the IPL 2022 match against Delhi Capitals. Ashwin hit four boundaries and two sixes in his 38-ball 50 as his half-century helped the Royals reach a total of 160/6 in their 20 overs after being put in to bat. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't enough to prevent DC from registering an 8-wicket win.

"Have worked a lot on my batting, so it's nice to see whatever has been worked on translates into the field," the veteran off-spinner said during the post-match press conference.
