R Ashwin breaks silence on IPL trade rumours
Former Indian off-spinner and incumbent CSK player Ravichandran Ashwin has broken his silence on the IPL trade rumours that have been swirling around for quite some time now. Breaking his silence, Ashwin said that he has sought clarity from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) management regarding his role in the team's future plans. Ashwin, who was snapped up by CSK for a hefty INR 9.75 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction, was largely seen as making an emotional “homecoming” to the franchise where his IPL journey began.
"I played three years for RR. After my 1st year, I got an email from the CEO saying, 'This is your performance; this is our expectation, and we're renewing your contract.' It's one plus one plus one - the contract renewal. After every season, it's the responsibility of the franchise to communicate to the player if they're retaining or releasing him," Ashwin said on his Youtube show.
“With regard to the news about Sanju and me. Every player can seek clarity from the team management and express if they are interested in continuing or not. So, there’s nothing in my hand, actually. I’ve only sought clarity. If you look at Sanju’s situation (news about his trade), that particular clarity is not coming from Sanju. Either it's rumours or it's coming from the franchise's side. I don't know who is making this news," said Ashwin.
Ashwin, meanwhile, didn’t have a good season at the IPL 2025, as his performance remained below expectations. Ashwin, who featured in nine games, was only able to claim just seven wickets at an average of 40.43 and an economy rate of 9.13.
