Kolkata Knight Riders' assistant coach Abhishek Nayar is impressed with the way Shreyas Iyer is leading the team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.

IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians' Murugan Ashwin Believes Spinners "Can Do A Lot" On Mumbai Pitch

Spinner Murugan Ashwin, who made a brilliant debut for Mumbai Indians (MI) by picking 2 wickets, said that wrist spinners like him and Delhi Capitals' Kuldeep Yadav could be a force to reckon with on the Mumbai pitch.

"Both me and Kuldeep had a good game, wrist spinners, with our variations, we can do a lot off the wicket. Both of us hit the right lengths, bowled the right speeds, it's a good wicket to bat and the lines were important, we had to be precise to put the batters on the backfoot and force them to do something," said Murugan Ashwin in a post-match conference.

Exclusive - IPL 2022: Would have said yes if RCB asked me if I wanted to stay on, but they didn't, was told they would go for me in the auction, says Yuzvendra Chahal
