Mankading has become a widely discussed topic ever since Ravichandran Ashwin pulled off the mode of dismissal for the first time in this year’s IPL to dismiss Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler. The act from Ashwin evoked mixed reactions from fans and cricketing experts around the globe.

Ashwin received a fair amount of criticism from a certain section of the cricketing fraternity who believed his action to be disgraceful and against the spirit of the game while certain others believed that the off spinner must have at least provided Buttler a warning before running him out.

Yesterday Ashwin tried to Mankad Shikhar Dhawan during Delhi Capitals’ run-chase against Kings XI Punjab at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday. In a funny turn of events, Dhawan responded by dancing at the non-striker’s end.

On Saturday, R Ashwin tried to Mankad Dhawan who was leading the charge for Delhi Capitals in their chase of 162.

But luckily for Dhawan, he had stepped back inside the crease in time. When Ashwin came back to bowl again Shikhar Dhawan decided to have some fun in his own way as he sat down on his knees and tried to taunt Ashwin with his dance moves. The left hander then started shaking with his bat rooted inside the crease to further taunt his Indian teammate as Ashwin came in to bowl the next delivery.

When you trust your mankading skills more than your bowling, you always look for a chance for mankading instead of focusing on your bowling. #Ashwin

Brilliant reply from gabbar. Loved it! 😂😂💯

Ashwin is pushing this while Mankad thing a little too far. Is he trying to teach the batsmen a lesson or something? #DCvsKXIP #VIVOIPL2019

Delhi Daredevils have won the match in the last over with two balls spare. Half centuries from Dhawan and Captain Shreyas Iyer helped the team to jump onto the third spot of the points table.
