Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni explained the reason behind dropping seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin from the playing XI against Lucknow Super Giants in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin surpassed Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) right-arm seamer Bhuvnesh Kumar to become the third-highest wicket-taker in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL).
Indian spinning duo of Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took India to a comfortable victory of 280 runs over Bangladesh in the first Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Sunday.
