Ravichandran Ashwin’s strange stance towards Kuldeep Yadav has sparked a meme-fest on Twitter.

The Delhi Capitals won their sixth game of the season on Wednesday, defeating Rajasthan Royals in the 2022 Indian Premier League. The DC chased down the target with 11 balls to spare after restricting the RR to 160/6 in 20 overs, losing only two wickets as Mitchell Marsh (89) and David Warner (52*) put on a 144-run stand for the second wicket to take the Capitals home.

Earlier in the batting innings, RR lost the early wicket of Jos Buttler, who was dismissed for 7 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin was promoted to no. 3 as expected, as had been the case this season whenever the RR lost an early wicket in the innings. This time, however, Ashwin had a productive stay at the crease, scoring a half-century off 38 balls and assisting Yashasvi Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal in stabilising the side’s innings.

The veteran Indian off-spinner is known for his innovations in the game, and during his 50-run knock against Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, Ashwin didn’t shy away from practising a rather strange-looking stance.

As he attempted to clear the long-off boundary against Mitchell Marsh in the 15th over of the match, Ashwin was eventually dismissed.

Mitchell Marsh had earlier taken the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal (19) and Ravichandran Ashwin with the ball (50). Ashwin went along nicely and brought up his half-century in 38 balls, looking confident after hitting a few boundaries, including two maximums and a ramp shot over keeper Pant.

However, the premier off-spinner was taken out soon after reaching the milestone, and Marsh returned to the attack to give DC the victory.

Marsh was the night’s hero with the bat, smashing seven sixes and five fours.
