Shane Warne has led a furious attack by cricket legends on Indian bowler Ravi Ashwin after an “embarrassment” he will never live down.
A match between the Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab exploded when Ashwin took the bails off at the non-striker’s end while Buttler was backing up.
Warne led a chorus of outrage on social media. “So disappointed in Ravi Ashwin as a captain and as a person,” Warne wrote. “All captains sign the IPL wall and agree to play in the spirit of the game. had no intention of delivering the ball — so it should have been called a dead ball. Over to you BCCI — this a not a good look for the IPL.
“As captain of your side you set the standard of the way the team wants to play and what the team stands for! Why do such a disgraceful and low act like that tonight? You must live with yourself and FYI — it’s to late to say sorry Mr Ashwin. You will be remembered for that low act. Former England captain Michael Vaughan added: “If Jos Buttler had been warned well that’s fine... if he hasn’t and it’s the first time I think Ravi Ashwin is completely out of orderThe term Mankading — used when a bowler runs out a non-striker before delivery — was coined 70 years ago when Indian all-rounder Vinoo mankad twice ran out Bill Brown at the bowler’s end during India’s tour of Australia in 1947.
