The 58th game of IPL 2022 is underway right now, where the Rajasthan Royals are locking horns with the Delhi Capitals. DC skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to field first. The Delhi Capitals’ fast bowler Chetan Sakariya dismissed the in-form Jos Buttler early, with Ravichandran Ashwin coming out to bat at number three for the Rajasthan Royals.
Ahead of the match, the Delhi Capitals’ star opening batter David Warner had an interview with the host broadcasters, where he mentioned how it is an important match for the Capitals since a defeat will almost knock them out of the tournament.
“It’s a do or die clash for us today. Obviously, we want to keep our hopes alive. The preparations have been a lot better. There were a few hiccups here and there but at the end of the day, we’ve played a lot of games and trained a lot, so there’s no excuses. We’re ready to go,” said Warner.
New batting stance of Ravichandran Ashwin goes viral on social media
As mentioned ahead, Chetan Sakariya sent Jos Buttler back to the dressing room and the Rajasthan Royals sent Ravichandran Ashwin to bat at number three after the first wicket fell. Ashwin has a habit of trying new things to achieve success in the sport.
Tonight, in the match between the Delhi Capitals and the Rajasthan Royals, he tried out a new stance against Kuldeep Yadav. Some fans even compared him with AB de Villiers after seeing the stance, while some highlighted how the off-spin bowling all-rounder likes to experiment in the tournament.
Earlier in the competition, Ashwin became the first player to get retired out and he was also the first bowler to run-out a batter at the non-striker’s end. Seeing his new batting stance against the Delhi Capitals, here’s how the fans on Twitter reacted:
