Senior India off-spinner Ashwin Ravichandran has said the signs are encouraging about his injured shoulder after he walked off in pain on his Delhi Capitals debut in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.
Ashwin had endured dream and nightmare in a space of six deliveries as he dismissed two batsmen and then suffered a suspected shoulder dislocation during Delhi Capitals’ IPL game against his former side KXIP. But in the post-match presentation ceremony he seemed in good spirits, and Shreyas Iyer had said the off-spinner might be alright for the next match.
“I was in pain as I left the field last night, but the pain has settled down and the scan reports are pretty encouraging too. Thanks for all your love and support,” Ashwin tweeted late on Monday.
Delhi face another of Ashwin’s former teams in Chennai Super Kings next, on Friday.
