A Look at Ravichandran Ashwin's Family Day Out in Ranthambore

Rajasthan Royals’ Ravichandran Ashwin was all smiles as he spent some much-needed time off with his family ahead of the next Indian Premier League (IPL) contest against Mumbai Indians. Rajasthan Royals will next be in action on Monday and the Indian spin magician utilised this break well by enjoying a vacation with his loved ones in the forests of Ranthambore. Rajasthan Royals shared a glimpse of Ashwin’s holiday on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In the picture, Ashwin can be seen travelling along with his wife in a safari jeep. Their daughters can be seen seated in front of them. “Family day out in Ranthambore,” read the caption of the post.

One of India’s mainstays in the bowling attack, Ravichandran Ashwin is widely recognised as one of the best spinners of this current generation. Ashwin made his debut for the Indian cricket team back in 2010. Since then, Ashwin has participated in 100 Tests, 116 ODIs and 65 T20Is. In those matches, he has scalped over 744 wickets. He has also delivered with the bat on multiple occasions, amassing 4200 runs. In his time with the national squad, Ashwin won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.

Ravichandran Ashwin has also made a ton of impact in his 16-year-long IPL stint. He has played for different franchises in the competition, including the Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Supergiants, Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and Delhi Capitals. He has represented these teams in 203 games, scalping 172 wickets and scoring 767 runs. He is also the sixth-highest wicket-taker in the competition after Yuzvendra Chahal, Dwayne Bravo, Piyush Chawla, Amit Mishra and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Coming back to the ongoing edition of the IPL, Ravichandran Ashwin has yet to find his form for the Rajasthan Royals. He has scalped a single wicket while competing in six games so far this season. He recently represented Rajasthan Royals in their nail-biting thriller against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Playing at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, the 2008 IPL winners beat the Shreyas Iyer-led side by two wickets.

The Rajasthan Royals currently claim the top spot in the IPL 2024 standings with six wins in seven matches. They will next play the Mumbai Indians on Monday, April 22.
