RCB vs RR: I think it's par-minus - Ravichandran Ashwin 

Ravichandran Ashwin, who returned with the figures of 2/19 for Rajasthan Royals with the ball, talked about his performance, saying that it has been a season of two halves for him. He also talked about the conditions, saying that there's a dew and opposition has posted below-par total. He elaborated:

"It's been a tournament of two halves for me. First half of the tournament, I was struggling coming from the Test series with injuries. Last few games I feel I am bowling really well. I texted Virat saying come on let's fight it one more time (smiles). Dew has come on nicely. The IPL committee has done well overall in the tournament to manage the dew. 

"(On RR's recent poor batting efforts) Got to reset button. Also got to look at the pitches we played on in those games. Not hiding behind the fact that we didn't bat well in the last few games but it's just about hitting the reset button, going out and enjoying in the middle. (On the total) I think it's par-minus," he concluded.
