Ashwin, surprised by a team’s decision a day before the start of IPL

Australia won the World Cup last year under the leadership of Pat Cummins. Hyderabad bought him in the IPL auction and made him captain. Ravichandran Ashwin was surprised by this decision of the opposing team. According to the Rajasthan cricketer, Aden Markram should have been retained as the captain. At the same time in the Hyderabad team He found several problems.

Markram has won the trophy twice leading the Sunrisers team that plays in the South African League. Ashwin feels that he should have been the captain in the IPL for this achievement. Said, “Sunrisers won the trophy twice in a row in South Africa. Both times they were a great team. So I was surprised when Pat Cummins was made captain. I don’t know why I thought they would keep Markram. They didn’t.”

Besides, according to Ashwin, Hyderabad have so many talented foreigners in their squad that they have to scratch their heads when it comes to picking the starting XI for every match. There are many star cricketers like Travis Head, Wanindu Hasrang, Fazalhaq Farooqui, Heinrich Klaasen, Markram, Cummins in that team. Ashwin said, “With so many stars, it is difficult to make a starting XI. If we keep Travis Head as an option, then Markram, Cummins, Klaasen and Hasrang can play in the starting XI.”
