Ravichandran Ashwin Responds To Journalist’s Dig Over Jonny Bairstow Dismissal

Ravichandran Ashwin Responds To Journalist’s Dig Over Jonny Bairstow Dismissal: The controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow on the final day of the second Ashes Test has sparked heated discussions among cricketing pundits, fans, and players. Bairstow’s premature departure from the crease, following a Cameron Green bouncer, allowed Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey to make a successful underarm direct hit. The English wicketkeeper-batter assumed the over was complete and started walking, leading to his dismissal.

Upon closer examination of the TV replays, it was evident that Bairstow habitually left his crease without verifying the ball was dead. This observation was not lost on Carey, who took advantage of Bairstow’s lapse. As confirmed by Australian captain Pat Cummins during the presentation ceremony, Carey noticed Bairstow’s actions and seized the opportunity.

Consequently, this event ignited a debate that continues to simmer, with different viewpoints being aired even two days after the game’s conclusion. Renowned journalist Rajdeep Sardesai entered the conversation by questioning Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. He asked Ashwin how he would feel if he was dismissed similarly.

Sardesai’s tweet cited Ashwin, posing a challenging question: “Sorry to bang on about this but I do love the game… To my friend @ashwinravi99 and all those who believe that Johnny Bairstow was fairly OUT… I have a simple Qs: would you be happy if you were given out in that way? That’s the real test. Do unto others what you would do to yourself! #Bairstow”.

In his response, Ashwin was candid and admitted that he would feel deeply disappointed and even gutted if he was dismissed in a similar manner. His reply served to highlight the various perspectives on Bairstow’s dismissal, which continues to be a talking point.
