The
Tamil
Nadu
cricketer
has
delivered
with
the
bat,
as
well
as
with
the
ball,
for
the
franchise
in
his
debut
season.
The
Turbanator
claimed
the
reason
why
Ashwin
did
so
well
with
the
bat
in
the
ongoing
season
was
that
the
team
showed
faith
in
him.
Speaking
on
Cricket
Live
on
Star
Sports,
Harbhajan
Singh
said,
“Rajasthan
Royals
should
be
credited
for
showing
faith
in
Ashwin’s
all-round
abilities
and
this
is
the
best
franchise
to
have
ever
made
full
use
of
R
Ashwin.
No
franchise
has
ever
utilised
Ashwin’s
batting
talent
before
but
this
team
has
promoted
him
up
in
the
batting
order
and
he’s
won
them
a
match
with
the
bat.
They
have
understood
the
true
potential
of
R
Ashwin
and
full
credit
to
Ashwin
for
reposing
the
faith
of
the
franchise
as
well.”
Harbhajan
also
claimed
that
RR’s
batting
mainstay
Jos
Buttler,
who’s
been
a
force
to
reckon
with
in
the
tournament,
seems
to
have
peaked
early
and
that
is
why
the
runs
have
dried
up
from
English
swashbuckler’s
bat.
The
off-spinner,
however,
opined
the
explosive
opener
should
go
back
to
his
basics
in
order
to
regain
his
form
and
come
back
strongly
in
the
Qualifiers.
Speaking
on
Cricket
Live
on
Star
Sports,
Harbhajan
said,
“Jos
Buttler
will
have
to
adjust
to
the
pitches
in
Kolkata.
The
pitches
in
Maharashtra
have
slowed
down
as
the
tournament
reached
its
business
end
but
the
Eden
Gardens
track
will
be
fresh,
so
not
just
Buttler,
every
batter
will
have
to
make
that
necessary
adjustment.
Coming
to
Buttler,
I
feel
that
he
seems
to
have
peaked
very
early
and
that
is
a
reason
why
runs
are
not
flowing
through
his
bat
in
the
latter
part
of
the
tournament.
He’s
a
great
player
and
he’ll
have
to
go
back
to
his
basics
to
regain
his
form.”
Meanwhile,
former
England
cricketer
Graeme
Swann
predicted
his
favourite
team
for
the
Qualifier
1
between
Rajasthan
and
Gujarat
on
May
24
at
iconic
Eden
Gardens
in
Kolkata.
Speaking
on
Cricket
Live
on
Star
Sports,
Graeme
Swann
said,
“Rajasthan
Royals
will
win
that
first
game
(Qualifier
1)
against
Gujarat
Titans.
I
honestly
think
first
and
second
i.e.
Gujarat
and
Rajasthan
are
the
two
best
sides
in
this
season
and
they
could
end
up
facing
each
other
in
that
final.”
