IPLCricBet has always been quick to the scene. Even more so when intriguing news awaits. Ravichandran Ashwin has always been a vocal supporter of running the batter out at non – striker’s end. Yet he himself was on the receiving end of a warning when he ‘supposedly’ backed up too far. The veteran Indian player faced this incident during a Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) game.

What Happened Before Ravichandran Ashwin’s Sharp Response Silenced Trolls?

During the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) game between Nellai Royal Kings and Dindigul Dragons (which is his team), Mohan Prasath stopped midway through his run – up. It was in the 15th over when the left arm spinner noticed that Ashwin was out of his crease. Replays do show that Ravichandran Ashwin was walking down the crease prematurely. But, when Prasath stopped midway during his run – up, his bat slid out of the popping crease.

Differing Reactions Online To This Situation

The reactions to this situation online took 2 extremely different sides. Social media platforms are buzzing with discussions about this event. Many noted that this warning does not apply to Ravichandran Ashwin because he was not taking any unfair advantage of the situation. On the other hand, there were many keyboard warriors who trolled Aswin for being on the receiving end of his own treatment.

Ashwin’s Accurate Response To Being In This Position

Accordingly, Ravichandran Ashwin was quick to post a screenshot of the cricket laws. This move suggested that he would have been deemed not out even if the bowler had extricated the balls. It’s no wonder his price was fetching in the cricket IPL auction!

As mentioned in the law 38.3, “a non-striker is liable to be run out from the moment the ball comes into play until the bowler is expected to release the ball.”

He also reacted to posts which criticised the commentators as they did not point out that R. Ashwin’s would have been not out in such a situation. This sparked a controversy as Ashwin, the veteran all – rounder posted cheekily that “Cos they don’t know the rule.”

Wrapping up with the current situation and news

Now, R. Ashwin is not a part of the team for the ongoing white ball tour of Sri Lanka. However, it is very likely that he will return to the Test team for the upcoming home series against Bangladesh.

This Sunday, India won over Sri Lanka in a rain – affected match, i.e. the 2nd match of the T20I series, and took a 2-0 lead. The 3rd and final T20I match will be played in Pallekele on Tuesday, before this 3 – match series takes place.

Players who have reportedly reached Colombo for the 3 – match ODI series against Sri Lanka includes India skipper Rohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Harshit Rana and Virat Kohli.
