Ravichandran Ashwin and ‘Mankad’ is a proper love story. Whenever, wherever someone does a ‘Mankad’ on a cricket field, the name of Ashwin raises immediately. Hence his opinion on the matter is always valuable.
This time Indian star offered an interesting comment on the incident during IND vs SL series. Dasun Shanaka, the captain of Sri Lanka, was run out by Mohammed Shami in the first ODI while batting on 98 runs. And fair to say, Ashwin is not a fan of India captain Rohit Sharma’s decision of withdrawing the appeal.
It is a “legitimate” method of dismissal, according to Ashwin. He added that “UMPIRE should have given Shanaka OUT, despite Rohit Sharma withdrawing appeal.”
