All 10 Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises revealed the list of their retained and released players on Tuesday, setting the foundation for the 2023 edition of the T20 league. Not long before the deadline, rumours of Rajasthan Royals releasing spinner Ravichandran Ashwin went viral on social media. However, when the list came, it was found out that Ashwin has been retained by the Royals. The franchise later took to Twitter to troll those who believed in the rumours and thought Ashwin will be sent back to the auction pool.
Ashwin might not have had a great T20 World Cup 2022 but he remains an integral part of the Royals outfit in the IPL. In fact, it was because of his performances in the IPL that Ashwin has managed to feature for India in back-to-back T20 World Cups, in 2021 and 2022.
Taking to Twitter, Rajasthan Royals posted a picture of Ravichandran Ashwin after retaining him for the 2023 season. The caption read: “Did you really think?”
