Ashwin took some special offense to the fact that the Punjab Kings keep splitting their home matches between Mohali/Mullanpur and Dharamsala.
At the time of writing, PBKS have played 6 of their 7 designated home matches, including all four at Mullanpur and 2 out of 3 at Dharamsala.
After their unprecedented first half, PBKS have gone on to have an even more unprecedented second half. They are currently on a five-match losing streak, and their playoffs hopes have been severely damaged.
"I know it is wrong" - Ravichandran Ashwin
Ashwin spoke to journalist Vimal Kumar on his YouTube channel and compared Punjab's variance with the stability of successful teams like the Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. While MI and CSK have five IPL titles each, PBKS have none.
"Look, we can say from the outside that Punjab aren't doing well, but because I have personally been there, I know it is wrong. We won five matches in Mohali, then we changed venues and got knocked out of the tournament," he added.
After their unbeaten start to the season, the Punjab Kings find themselves in a situation where they will need to win both their remaining matches in order to keep their qualification hopes up.
Ashwin said that failure to adapt to the new home venue was the main problem for the Punjab Kings.
"Their batting order is scoring 30-40 runs fewer, or 20 runs fewer, because they have to adapt. We can all say that Punjab are struggling and have suffered five consecutive defeats, or that 'this is what happens in Punjab'. No, they have played two of those games at a changed home venue," he said.
