IPL 2020, DC vs KXIP: Ricky Ponting Hopes Ravichandran Ashwin Is Back For Delhi Capitals' Next Game

Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting said they will find out more about all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin's injury soon. Ashwin displayed a sublime form on Sunday during the match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), taking two wickets in his first over. However, off the last ball of the over, he dived to save a single and hurt his shoulder in the process. After that, Ashwin went off the field with team physio Patrick Farhart. Delhi Capitals secured a win against KXIP in the Super Over.

"Still buzzing the morning after! Thrilled with the way we fought back after our start, @MStoinis with both bat and ball and @KagisoRabada25 with a quality super over. We'll find out more about @ashwinravi99's injury soon and hopefully he's ok to play against the Super Kings," Ponting wrote on Twitter.
