I request you with folded hands, please open in every match: Ashwin to Pant

Former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin urged LSG captain Rishabh Pant to open in every match in the IPL 2026 season. "If he comes into bat after the power play, the bowlers have a strategy to stop him. It was very unfortunate the way...Pant got out," Ashwin said. Notably, Pant opened against DC but got run out on seven.
