Whenever there is talk of run outs at mankad i.e. non-striking end, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin’s name suddenly comes up. Although the talk of being run out on a non-strike is decades old, it came into the limelight when R Ashwin ran out Jos Buttler during the IPL. Although there was talk at the time that it was against the spirit of the game, it has now officially been given the status of a run out. At the same time, when Shadab Khan was run out at the non-striking end during the second match of the three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the debate was sparked again, to which R Ashwin has responded clearly.
A sports journalist said about this that we have never seen anyone run out on a non-strike in big matches. Only those countries are supporting it, which have not yet faced it or have repeatedly tried to face it. The journalist also said that players from countries like England, Australia, West Indies and Pakistan have been against him. He also alleged that these things are being supported because of women’s cricket and IPL. However, R Ashwin was upset with this and said that it would be better if the batsman stays at the crease.

He has not completed his action at all and he should take care of it in 5th 6th over, because logic is useless. Once the bowler is ready. The ball, he Can’t run out a batsman, because it’s wrong according to the law.”
Ashwin also claimed, “Not all teams are doing it at the moment, but with the World Cup coming, I really hope everyone is ready for it, because if they face it, other teams will take advantage of it. will take, because winning the World Cup is the biggest achievement. After all, winning is all? Yes, it is everything for some and not for many, we need to accept both, because we are all different. Stay inside the crease. And be at peace.”
