‘Ridiculous and bizarre move’: Sanjay Manjrekar on RR promoting Ashwin at No. 3 ahead of Sanju Samson vs Gujarat Titans

Hindustan Times  

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar and former Australia all-rounder Ben Cutting were very critical of Rajasthan Royals' decision to send in Ravichandran Ashwin at number 3 in their 193-run chase against Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. What surprised Manjrekar, who called the move ‘ridiculous and bizarre’ was the fact that Jos Buttler at the other end, had gotten off to a rollicking start and RR had someone like Samson in the dugout. Ravichandran Ashwin was sent in ahead of Sanju Samson against Gujarat Titans ".Especially when Samson is the next guy in. I can understand sending a pinch-hitter, the old term for a guy who starts smashing it around but Buttler was going hell for leather and then you send it Ashwin so it was a bizarre move," Manjrekar said on ESPNCricinfo.
