"He played a lot of good knocks in this IPL and scored almost 800 runs," Ashwin said

IPL 2026: Former RR bowler R Ashwin backed Gujarat Titans to make a strong comeback and lift their second title in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

IPL 2026: Ashwin pinned the poor bowling as the primary reason for Mumbai's downfall besides some questionable calls from Hardik.

IPL 2026: Urvil Patel smashed five sixes in succession as he romped to the joint-fastest fifty in IPL history, sharing the record with Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has caught the eye with his attacking batting at the top of the order, showing little fear against either pace or spin despite his limited senior-level experience.

Ashwin's first IPL appearance came in the second season of the IPL, which was played in South Africa.

With the win, GT now have 10 points from nine games and are sitting just outside the IPL playoff bracket. Bengaluru continue to remain in second place with 12 points from nine games.

While Ashwin offered his sympathies for the 24-year-old batter, he also stressed that such incidents could not be swiftly brushed under the carpet.
