Ashwin blames 'IPL wicket' mindset for India's batting woes

Ravichandran Ashwin blamed India's batting struggles in the 0-2 T20I series loss to Ireland on the 'IPL wicket' mindset. The former spinner said '24-carat batting pitches' in the IPL don't prepare batters for overseas challenges, adding their 'real value at the international level" is revealed only on surfaces offering swing and seam.
