Ravichandran Ashwin, a veteran from India, got off to a pretty dramatic start to his career at Delhi Capitals. In DC’s opening game of the current Indian Premier League season against Kings XI Punjab on Sunday, Ashwin entered the attack in the fifth and collected two wickets. The bowler fired Karun Nair and the dangerous Nicholas Pooran in quick succession.
But after throwing the last ball of the over, Ashwin dived to save a run and injured his shoulders. Ruined by grief, Ashwin walked off the field with his shoulders supported by team physio Patrick Farhart.

Previously, Captain Shreyas Iyer had also expressed confidence that his senior bowler will be in shape in a few days.

“He’s a strong-minded guy and I hope he’s available,” Iyer had added.
