IPL 2019 | Legends and pundits react to Ravichandran Ashwin's masterclass against Rajasthan Royals

Well played once again led from the front. He has kept them in the hunt. Rahul Gayle Mayank and Ashwin driving this team. Good to see.

Great game for Ashwin tonight...as batsman, bowler & captain. He was ‘three dimensional’. 😉

After Dhoni if there is any captain that’s making a winning difference to his team, it’s R. Ashwin.

Good to see Ashwin go in with 3 spinners and lead the way for . They have made great progress so far this IPL

ashwin does tend to land some punches against the royals

The intent was missing in this RR batting one more time! Tripathi's 50 going in vain, If the team doesn't win, doesn't fight, any personal milestone is a waste. Well played to 🏏💯

Tall score to chase, but at one stage Rajasthan looked in control before squandering the opportunity with some inept batting. My MOM: for his thrustful batting, crafty bowling and aggressive captaincy

Clearly, Ashwin is enjoying his role as captain. He always wanted it and is doing a fine job so far. Deserves a lot of credit for the progress this year

Liked the way Ashwin rotated his bowlers today. But what was thinking while trading Stoinis for Mandeep? Desperately need an all-rounder. Playing with only 5 bowlers is risky.
