The IPL 2022 match between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday saw R. Ashwin become the first batter in IPL history to be Retired Out.
Ashwin was batting on 28 when he walked off, allowing Riyan Parag to join Shimron Hetmyer in the middle. Hetmyer struck 59 off 36 as RR finished on 165 for 6.
“I had no idea about that retired out decision from Ashwin,” Hetmyer said during the innings break.
