Ashwin stated that he was struggling with back pain and had to leave the pitch after his bowling. The 34-year-old spinner was suffering from a nerve pull which was later found out in the MRI scan.
According to few tweeps, Kohli vs Ponting never happened. It was all about Ashwin going off the field. Few RCB players & Simon Katich annoyed by that. Ponting had an altercation with Katich & few RCB players. Then Kohli told it to Umpires.
