He said hitting No. 3 was part of the team’s plan.
Batting at number three, Ashwin played an inning of 50 runs on 38 balls, although his team had to face defeat in this match. Ashwin said after the game: “They told me even before the session that they would send me to order as a batsman. We also played some scrimmages where I started the innings.
The offline veteran said: “I worked really hard on my hitting and it’s good to see I’m benefiting from that.”
Regarding the practice done before the IPL, Ashwin said: “I was in a good batting mode even before the start of the season. I worked a little bit hard on the batting, changed my technique a little bit. It feels good to play half a century , but it didn’t help the team win.
