In an exclusive chat with Sportstar, Kings XI Punjab’s co-owner, Ness Wadia said that:
Earlier, the rumors were rife that the 33-year-old off-spinner could move to Delhi Capitals in the IPL trade window. Even, Delhi Capitals’ advisor, Sourav Ganguly had publicly shown interest in acquiring the services of the office. However, it seems like the Punjab team management has zero interest in releasing their skipper.
Wadia stated that Ashwin is an exceptional player and added that,
Ravichandran Ashwin’s IPL career as a part of Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab had bought Ashwin in the IPL Auction of 2018 and he has even been the captain of the team since then. In the seasons he has represented Kings XI Punjab, the Tamil Nadu-born off-spinner has scalped 25 wickets in 28 wickets. His economy rate has been between 7.67 across these two campaigns while he has also contributed a bit in the batting department.
With the runners-up of IPL 2014 appointing Anil Kumble as their coach earlier in the day and announcing that Ashwin will continue to be a part of the franchise, it seems like they have laid down some big plans for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
