Ashutosh dedicated his Player-of-the-Match award to Dhawan, acknowledging the impact the veteran left-hander has had on his career. "He (Dhawan) was very happy with my knock. He always tells me to stay down to earth and humble. He hasn't taught me much about skills, but his lessons on life, mindset, and approach to the game have changed my life a lot," Ashutosh said during the JioStar - Delhi Capitals Press Room on Friday.
