After the announcement of the retention list for the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction, veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin made an interesting statement regarding the success of the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Both teams are the most successful in the history of the league with five titles each.

Ashwin, on his YouTube channel, recalled that a person from MI told him how the franchise tries to stay ahead of the competition by winning more matches than CSK. The 37-year-old also made a big revelation, saying MI wanted David Miller from Punjab Kings (PBKS). Ashwin, who was the captain of the side wanted a player from MI but the latter did not agree to this, that they were willing to give as much money as possible to PBKS without trading their own player.

Ashwin thinks that even if Sudharsan doesn’t get a chance to open alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad, he can bat at No. 3 in the line-up. He pointed out that as India are looking for a left-hander in the top four, Sudharsan has the ability to fill the spot.
