In the 42nd match of IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals had to face defeat by 6 wickets from Mumbai Indians. Rajasthan’s hand slipped from the match in the last over, and Tim David hit a hat-trick of sixes and put the victory in Mumbai’s bag. This match was nothing less than a thriller, where Mumbai’s batter snatched the victory from the jaw of the Rajasthan Royal’s bowlers.
The performance of Rajasthan’s spin bowler Ravichandran Ashwin was outstanding in this match as well, and he took two big wickets while spending just 27 runs in four overs.
Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Mumbai Ishan Kishan and Cameron Green. Both are looking really dangerous while batting; if they batter for some more, then surely Mumbai won the match with 1-2 overs to spare.
Ashwin showed Ishaan the way to the pavilion on the score of 28 runs and also ended Green’s fiery innings of 44 runs in 26 balls. Due to Ashwin’s spell, Rajasthan’s team appeared to dominate Mumbai at the beginning of the run chase. Along with dismissing Ishaan and Green, Ashwin has also completed his 300 wickets in T20 cricket.
Ravichandran Ashwin has become the second Indian bowler to take 300 wickets in T20 cricket. Only Yuzvendra Chahal is ahead of him in this list, who has so far taken 311 wickets in this format.
