When They Picked Muralitharan, I Thought My Chances Were Gone: Ashwin Recalls How He Was First Picked By CSK
Chennai Super Kings: Former India off-spin veteran Ravichandran Ashwin reflected on his early days with Chennai Super Kings and recalled how he was first picked by the franchise, revealing that he thought his chances were over when the yellow army picked Sri Lanka legend Muttiah Muralitharan in 2009.
The 39-year-old Chennai native began his journey with his home franchise, Chennai Super Kings, winning two titles. In the 2025 auctions, Ashwin got a homecoming as he was picked by CSK for a whopping 9.75 crores before announcing his retirement ahead of the 2026 season.
Ashiwn also credited his late mentor VB Chandrasekhar for paving the way for his selection in CSK. "I've always wanted to stay grateful. People come into your life, lay a stepping stone for you, and then move on and for me, that person was VB Chandrasekhar. He’s no longer with us, a life gone too soon. In Chennai's league cricket, I was playing for Chemplast against MRF at Pachaiyappa’s ground when T20 was new and people felt spinners had no role, especially the finger spinners," Ashiwn said on JioStar.
