Ashwin at KXIP

Ashwin, who was roped in for Rs. 7.6 crores prior to IPL 2018, has been their skipper since 2018.

As far as his performance at KXIP goes, he has played 28 matches, claiming 25 wickets at a poor average of 32.40, while he also managed to score 144 runs.

However, he notably failed to lead the side to the playoffs so far.

IPL performance

Should KXIP retain Ashwin?

Taking into consideration Ashwin's IPL performance to date, he has played 139 matches, claiming 125 wickets at an average of 26.47.

While he might be having a good time with the ball in the ongoing Test series at home, his performance in T20, especially IPL, speaks for himself.

Thus, KXIP could still consider a better option, as per the author.
