“I had no idea about it (Ashwin’s retirement) – he was also a bit tired. It was a good decision, as the kid (Parag) hit a six for us,” Shimron Hetmyer told the host broadcaster Star Sports during the mid-innings show.

Law 25 of the Laws of Cricket– A batsman may retire from his innings any time when the ball is dead and be replaced by a teammate who is yet to be dismissed.
Had to be Ashwin. A first retired out in the IPL. If it’s in the rule book, why not. Tactical game awareness > Set notional patterns. Well done, sir. #RRvLSG
