While bowling, Ashwin me his impact felt when he took out his India teammates KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal off successive deliveries and took off running in same manner that South Africa spinner Imran Tahir is rewned to do. Ashwin's emotions were t over yet as he came in to bat at a critical moment when his team needed 30 runs in 17 balls. Ashwin stuck around till last over as his partner, Vijay Shankar and him struck a flew blows to bring down equation to 13 in six balls.

As Ashwin took strike, he pulled off a Dhoni and removed his helmet, just like his ex-captain at CSK does when he faces spinners in critical overs. Ashwin n proceeded to smash two consecutive fours in first and second ball, reducing equation to a meagre 5 runs in 4 balls. Ashwin almost believed that he h won his side of match and started throwing punches in air, much like Banglesh wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim did against India in ir World T20 2016 match in Bengaluru. Ashwin's celebration was premature though as Karnataka mand to win match by a slim margin of a single run. Here is what fans h to say about intense match.
