The off spinner received many reactions for his tweet from his followers. One of them reminded the cricketer about his controversial “Mankad” incident that took place during the IPL tournament. Ashwin who captains Kings 11 Punjab got England’s Jost Butler’s wicket through “Mankad”. Being one of the rarest dismissals, the incident created massive outrage in cricketing fraternity at that time.

This reply loved by many Twitter users who appreciated the cricketer for his spirit. “It was pretty instinctive. “I actually didn’t load and he (Buttler) left the crease. That’s always been my take on it because it’s my half of the crease. I was not even at the crease, he wasn’t even looking at me and he just left the place,” Ashwin said on the day of the incident happened.
