Aakash Chopra: 8 matches have been played in the Indian Premier League. But so far, we have seen great play in these matches. At the same time, in the match played on Wednesday, a fascinating match was played between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. However, Shikhar Dhawan’s team Punjab won the match by 5 runs in the last over.
After this, Captain Sanju Samson and the management of RR are being severely criticized. In this match, some such decisions of RR were taken, seeing as the audience’s senses were blown away. At the same time, former cricketer and best commentator Aakash Chopra have also targeted Rajasthan and made some big statements.
Ashwin Was Sent In Place Of Butler
Chasing a mammoth target of 198 runs against Punjab, the Rajasthan Royals team sent Ravichandran Ashwin along with Yashasvi Jaiswal as the opener in place of the in-form Jos Buttler. At the same time, Ashwin, who came out to bat at number one, could not do anything special and was dismissed without opening an account in 4 balls. After this, the team came under pressure due to the fall of wickets at the beginning itself. Butler, who came to bat at number three, was also dismissed after scoring 19 runs in 11 balls.
Aakash Chopra Gave A Big Statement
Before this decision of Rajasthan Royals, Aakash Chopra got angry and expressed his displeasure over this decision on his YouTube channel, saying, Why did Ashwin go to open? We all wondered what Ashwin was doing there. Jos Buttler was probably injured because he had hurt his hand while taking the catch, then why was he sitting outside wearing pads and gloves?
Could Have Sent Someone Else Instead Of Ashwin
Aakash Chopra said Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal could also open. When everyone else is playing off-position, why Ashwin? But this is Rajasthan. Ashwin was dismissed for zero in four balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal was looking good, a six off the first ball, but he, too, got out. Arshdeep Singh got his team off to a great start by taking two wickets with the new ball.
