Cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar said all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin is a "problem" for RR on flat tracks as he tries a lot of variations, adding that Ashwin bowls fewer off-spinners on flat tracks. "When there is turn, then [Ashwin] becomes a dangerous bowler," stated Manjrekar. The all-rounder has picked 11 wickets in IPL 2022 so far. His current economy rate is 7.33.
