On Monday, Kings XI Punjab skipper Ravichandran Ashwin inflicted the first ever ‘Mankad’ in the history of the Indian Premier League as he ran out Jos Buttler on the non-striker’s end before delivering the ball. The incident instantly stirred up a huge controversy with fans and experts producing their respective sides. While a few backed Ashwin to execute a dismissal within the laws of the game, many felt the spinner’s act was not in the ‘spirit’ of the game.

It was a ‘very instinctive’ decision Ashwin said in the post-match press conference after being asked about the incident which took place during Royals’ chase of 185 runs at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in their first game of IPL 2019. However, Indian spin great Erapalli Prasanna slammed Ashwin for his actions and said that the spinner was not telling the truth and tried to cover-up with his post-match.

Buttler was going strong at 69 off 34 balls looking set to take Rajasthan Royals over the line in the chase before his innings was abruptly cut short. The English batsman was left disappointed as he walked back after the third umpire adjudged him out following the dismissal. Rajasthan’s chase was dented with the loss as the hosts went on to suffer a collapse eventually losing the game by 14 runs.

“Look, it was very instinctive. On my part, it was very instinctive. It was not planned or anything like that. It’s there within the rules of the game. I don’t understand where the spirit of the game comes, naturally if it’s there in the rules it’s there,” Ashwin said in the post-match press conference when asked about the whole episode.

Earlier Ashwin’s wife Prithi Ashwin reacting to the trolls asked everyone to leave her alone. She also asked them to go to Ashwin’s timeline instead of mentioning her in their tweets.
