The Royals became the first team in IPL history to employ the 'retired out' tactic as Ashwin went back to the dug out despite being 28 not out during their game against LSG on Sunday. "It was the right time to do that," Sangakkara said at the post-match press conference.

Ravichandran Ashwin became the first player to be 'retired out' in Indian Premier League (IPL) history.

Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket, Kumar Sangakkara, said Ashwin handled the match situation really well by 'retiring out' at the right time. "It was the right time to do that," Sangakkara said at the post-match press conference. Ashwin himself was asking from the field as well and we had discussed just before that as to what we would do," Sangakkara said at the post-match press conference.
