"I had a back problem when I ran. It was a terrible pain. They took MRI scans and it was traced to a nerve pull on my back. I went off after bowling. The opposition thought, I bowled 4 overs and went in. They asked 'How can that be done?'.

"Ricky, we all know, never backs off from a fight. And when RCB questioned, he said we aren't like that. It was just at the heat of the moment," R Ashwin said.

Delhi Capitals won their encounter against Virat's Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Abu Dhabi by 6 wickets as they comfortably chase down a 153-run target.
