In the last edition of the Indian Premier League, R Ashwin received criticism from all-over, when he Mankaded Joss Buttler during the clash between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals.
Joss Buttler looked in a great form and was doing great with the bat but before he could make an impact with his batting, R Ashwin decided to Mankad him. On seeing that Joss Buttler had left the crease before the ball was bowled, R Ashwin ook off the bails and appealed straightaway. Leaving the entire cricket fraternity and fans in shock. The umpire had no other option than asking Buttler to make way towards the pavilion.
Though R Ashwin did everything under the rules and no lines were cross but he was brutally slammed for this, as this is widely seen against the spirit of cricket. From cricketers like Shane Warne, James Anderson to many others, everyone criticized Ashwin for mankading Buttler.
However, R.Ashwin has made it clear that he will do the same again if he finds any batsman crossing the line prematurely.
Well, recently, Ashwin conducted a question-answer session on Twitter, where the fans flooded him with various questions. Starting the question-answer session on Twitter, Ashwin wrote:
“Hello everyone, what’s happening around the cricket world and more. I am in the mood for an #askash session, as always don’t forget to use the hashtag.”
