R. Ashwin has cleared the air on an incident that sparked a confrontation between him and Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan throughout an IPL 2021 contest in Sharjah on Tuesday.
Throughout the nineteenth over of Capitals’ innings, Ashwin known as for an additional run after the throw from a fielder hit his batting accomplice Rishabh Pant. After Ashwin was dismissed within the subsequent over, Morgan gave him a fiery send-off and the 2 needed to be separated by Dinesh Karthik.
1. I turned to run the second I noticed the fielder throw and dint know the ball had hit Rishabh.
2. Will I run if I see it!?
In fact I’ll and I’m allowed to.
3. Am I a shame like Morgan mentioned I used to be?
In fact NOT.— Masks up and take your vaccine (@ashwinravi99) September 30, 2021
Karthik later clarified that Morgan did not assume Ashwin had acted within the spirit of the sport.
Ashwin, in a collection of tweets, defended his actions, saying going for a run after the throw hits the batsman or the bat does not violate the spirit of cricket as he understood it, and that he could not be termed a “shame” for his actions.
Knight Riders defeated Capitals by three wickets.
