IPL fever is on. We are done with the three matches so far. Chennai
Super King (CSK) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) was the first match where
CSK won against RCB by seven wickets. In second match Kolkata Knight Riders won
the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 6 wickets. Match was interesting, Sunrisers
Hyderabad (SRH) was moving towards the win but Andre Russell and Nitish Rana of
(KKR) turned the game on their side and Kolkata Knight Riders won the match by
6 wickets. Third match was between Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Rajasthan Royals
(RR). In yesterday’s match (25th March 2019), Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)
was the winner against Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 14 runs but the match was in
controversy for the captain R Ashwin mankading Jos Buttler.
R Ashwin has been facing criticism for mankading Buttler, without
giving him a warning. Let see what happens in mankading. In mankading the batsman
at non striker’s end is run out when he leaves the crease before the ball is
released from the bowler’s hand.
Many cricketers have shared their views for Ashwin’s this
act. According to some cricketers Ashwin should have warned Buttler before
mankading. While some other cricketers were supporting Ashwin as it was within
the law of cricket. Jos Buttler was going strong at 69 off 43 balls and this
happen. Ashwin has defended himself saying what he did was within the cricket
laws. It was not planned. He said he didn’t load, he was not even at the crease
and buttler left the crease. Buttler was not even looking at him.
As per one of the senior BCCI official, what Ashwin did was
not wrong and is permissible within the rules of the game. As far as Shane
Warne is concerned, he is brand ambassador of Rajasthan Royals (RR) and not a
neutral observer.
