IPL 2019 | Legends and pundits react to Ravichandran Ashwin's masterclass against Rajasthan Royals
Ravichandran Ashwin was criticized by many after he Mankaded Jos Buttler in their first match but when he faced Rajasthan Royals for the second time, he won the hearts of many pundits and legends with his brilliant captaincy. Here is how the cricketing fraternity reacted to yet another KXIP win.
Indian core for the win!
Well played @lionsdenkxip @ashwinravi99 once again led from the front. He has kept them in the hunt. Rahul Gayle Mayank and Ashwin driving this team. Good to see.

Gonna need some 3D glasses to watch Ashwin in the next match!
Great game for Ashwin tonight...as batsman, bowler & captain. He was ‘three dimensional’. 😉#KXIPvRR

That's a huge compliment!
After Dhoni if there is any captain that’s making a winning difference to his team, it’s R. Ashwin.#VIVOIPL2019

Spinning to victory!
Good to see Ashwin go in with 3 spinners and lead the way for @lionsdenkxip. They have made great progress so far this IPL #KXIPvRR

ashwin does tend to land some punches against the royals #KXIPvRR

RR are in a huge rut!
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 @lionsdenkxip🏏💯#KXIPvRR

Ashwin has won the hearts of so many people with his captaincy!
Tall score to chase, but at one stage Rajasthan looked in control before squandering the opportunity with some inept batting. My MOM: @ashwinravi99 for his thrustful batting, crafty bowling and aggressive captaincy

And he has learnt it from the best!
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 #KingsXI progress this year

KXIP need to get this sorted though!
Liked the way Ashwin rotated his bowlers today. But what was #KXIP thinking while trading Stoinis for Mandeep? Desperately need an all-rounder. Playing with only 5 bowlers is risky. #KXIPvRR
