Ravichandran Ashwin, who harassed the batsmen with his spin in the IPL, finally said goodbye to the league on Wednesday (August 27). After making his debut in 2009, his IPL journey, which lasted for 17 seasons, is now over. Ashwin’s IPL career has been full of many great achievements 17 seasons, 221 matches and 187 wickets. But in the meantime, he also has such a unique and unwanted record, which will be surprised to see.

While playing for different teams for 17 seasons, Ashwin left his mark with wickets, economy and performance. But in the meantime, he has also recorded such an unwanted record. Actually Ashwin is the only player of IPL to have lost 5 consecutive finals. His first title celebration came in 2010 against Mi, Dy Patil Stadia and the second title in 2011 against RCB, Chennai. After this, the journey of finals proved difficult for him.

• 2012 – Final against KKR (Chennai) defeat
• 2013 – Finals against Mi (Eden Gardens) defeat
• 2015 – Finals against Mi (Eden Gardens) defeat
• 2020 – Final (Dubai) defeat against Mi
• 2022 – Final against GT (Ahmedabad) defeat

In this way Ashwin played a total of 7 IPL finals, out of which only 2 won and lost 5. This figure brings them to a club that no player would like to be a player.

The interesting thing is that Ashwin shares the record of 5 final defeat with Suresh Raina. At the same time, MS Dhoni is at the top of this case, who has an unwanted record of 6 final defeat, but Ashwin is the only player in IPL to have lost 5 consecutive finals.
