In a conversation with former IPL auctioneer Richard Madley, Ashwin was asked where he sees himself in the next season of the IPL. The 35-year-old cricketer without hesitation stated that he wants to make a comeback to his former team, based out of his hometown.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin said:
Ashwin was roped in by CSK in 2008 as a rookie and plied his trade for the franchise until 2015. In the 95 games he played for the Yellow Army, the celebrated off-spinner scalped 90 wickets at an average of 24.2.
Ashwin then joined Rising Pune Supergiant when CSK was suspended from the IPL in 2016 and 2017 before making a move to Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings) in 2018.
Ravichandran Ashwin was then traded to the Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2020 before being released after last season.
