Ravichandran Ashwin has praised Australian pacer Riley Meredith Ellis for his death-overs bowling performance in the Big Bash League. Ashwin suggested on social media that Ellis's ability to execute yorkers and mix pace under pressure could make him a valuable asset for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming IPL 2026 season. Ellis's recent figures of 4-0-30-3, including a strong death-overs spell, have drawn attention as CSK seeks a reliable bowler for this role.
