ICC World Cup 2023: Ravichandran Ashwin Warns Every Team To Be Prepared For Run Out At Non-Striker's End

Veteran Indian offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin recently shared his opinion on the non-striker run-out, saying that the batters should stay inside the crease. Ravichandran Ashwin warned every team to be ready for non-striker run-outs in the ODI World Cup 2023.

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) made amendments to the laws and changed the term “mankading” from “unfair play” to “run out” and “fair dismissal” in 2022. The dismissal came into the spotlight when Ravi Ashwin dismissed Jos Buttler during the IPL 2019.

While replying to a sports journalist on Twitter (X), Ravichandran Ashwin said that the bowler will face significant criticism if he dismisses players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

“I am sure hell will break loose and there will be a character assassination campaign by some experts who still don’t agree with it and of course fans that are on the receiving end.

“There is only one solution, whoever be the batter and whatever be the magnitude of the situation, the batter needs to watch the bowler load the ball up and rotate his shoulder before taking off and if he doesn’t do that and gets out, we should applaud the bowler and tell the batsmen that he can do better.”

“At the moment not all teams are doing it but come the World Cup, I really hope everyone is ready for it cos taking a moral high stand and saying we won’t do it, should open a strategic window for the other teams and genuinely teams should take every single advantage coming their way cos winning a World Cup is a lifetime achievement.’

“Finally, is winning everything? Its everything for some and not for many others, we need to accept both, cos we are all different. Stay inside the crease and live in peace,” Ashwin stated.

This is a fair assessment of the situation ??.

Imagine someone running out kohli, Rohit , Smith , Root or any crucial batter at the non strikers in the World Cup semi final or a crunch game which will decide qualification.

The journalist’s post suggests that celebrating non-striker run-outs is common among teams that haven’t experienced them. He said that there would be a change in reactions if such incidents involved prominent players or occurred at the World Cup.

Stay Inside The Crease – Ravichandran Ashwin

The writer stated that the non-striker run-out hasn’t influenced crucial stages like the Ashes or World Cup finals. However, Ashwin advised staying within the crease for a peaceful approach.

“Finally, is winning everything? Its everything for some and not for many others, we need to accept both, cos we are all different. Stay inside the crease and live in peace ✌️”

In the second ODI between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Shadab Khan faced a similar run-out by Fazalhaq Farooqi, which reignited the ongoing debate. However, the dismissal didn’t affect Pakistan’s win, as they secured victory by one wicket with one ball remaining.
