The cash-rich league got underway soon after the last Test between India and England concluded. Ashwin was a major player for the team during the five-match Test series and he admitted that it took him some time to regain his mojo in the shortest format.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Ashwin could take only two wickets in nine matches but has redeemed himself to pick seven scalps in next four outings. His economy of 9 has also come down to 6.81 in the last four matches and clearly, the off-spinnerr is looking in great touch at the business end of IPL 2024. &#8220;Truth be told, [in] the first half of the season, my body wasn&#8217;t moving at all.\u00a0I felt like I wasn&#8217;t able to complete my action on many occasions. I had a little bit of an abdomen injury as well. So I couldn&#8217;t really get through it a lot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8221;But having committed to your franchise and the kind of boys we have in the dressing room, I put my body on the line in many of the games. For me, it was more about the rhythm, and [about] hitting the right lengths. You come from Test-match mode, your body also needs to get into it&#8230; I mean, I am ageing, so it&#8217;s not that easy anymore.\u00a0\u00a0But as the tournament went on\u2026 the amount of repetitions I need for the T20 game is a lot; I actually bowl a lot off the game time as well. I needed that amount of bowling time to get into the rhythm,&#8221; Ashwin said while speaking to official broadcaster.<\/p>\n<p>The Royals came into this match on the back of four consecutive losses and one washout before this game while RCB were on a six-match winning streak. But things turned around dramatically in the game and Ashwin credited the same to the exuberance of youth and the balance of senior players.    <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The greatest strength of our team is the exuberance of youth and the balance of the senior players. Now that Hettie is back and Rovman [Powell] also got a few boundaries away, which is very critical for us, we would be going confident into that game. We&#8217;ve got a decent spin attack; we&#8217;ve got Keshav [Maharaj] sitting outside. If you can get off to a good start against SRH, you never really know,&#8221; Ashwin added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/cricket\/body-wasn-t-moving-at-all-ravi-ashwin-reveals-he-played-with-injury-in-first-half-of-ipl-2024-2024-05-23-932994\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : BCCI\/IPL Ravi Ashwiun Rajasthan Royals off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has revealed that he wasn&#8217;t completely fit when the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) got underway.
