Chennai: Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin said there was nothing wrong about his team's combination, defending the decision to play only two spinners in the game against CSK on a spin-friendly track here on Saturday.

CSK fielded three spinners, who dominated the Punjab batsmen. Defending 160-3, CSK restricted Punjab to 138-5 despite half centuries from KL Rahul (55) and Sarfaraz Khan (67). The visitors scored at a low pace and required to score 26 off the last over, bowled by IPL debutant Scott Kuggeleijn. The Kiwi paceman had no trouble defending those runs and also dismissed Sarfaraz. Harbhajan was the best bowler for the hosts with the figures of 4-1-17-2.
