IND vs SL: "The Game Situation Is Immaterial" - Ravichandran Ashwin's Scathing Response To Rohit Sharma's Withdrawal Of His Appeal

On his YouTube account, Ravichandran Ashwin made an intriguing comment on Mohammed Shami’s decision to run out of Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka while he was batting with 98 runs in the first ODI.
It was an extraordinary event that happened in the last over of the game. However, India’s Rohit Sharma eventually dropped the appeal. Mohammed Shami, who bowled the over, ran Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka out at the non-striker’s end on 98. The decision was taken when the Sri Lankan captain was just two runs short of a century.

That Is A Legitimate Form Of Dismissal: Ravichandran Ashwin
The dismissal’s champion and main off-spinner for India, Ravichandran Ashwin, has now spoken in-depth about the event from the first ODI. He insisted that the dismissal was “legal” and said that when an appeal for a caught-behind or lbw is filed, the captain is never consulted.
“Of course, Shami’s run out. When Shanaka was on 98, Shami ran him out in the non-striker’s end, and he appealed too. Rohit withdrew that appeal. So many people tweeted about that immediately. I am going to keep repeating only one thing, guys. The game situation is immaterial. That is a legitimate form of dismissal,” Ashwin began.

“And if you ask an lbw appeal, or a caught-behind appeal, nobody will check with the captain on whether they are sure with the appeal like a Sarath Kumar or an Amitabh Bachchan in Kaun Banega Crorepati.
“They will give him out if the bowler appeals and that is the end of it. See, even if one fielder appeals, it is the duty of the umpire to declare a player out if he is out,” said Ashwin.
Ravichandran Ashwin Surprised By So Many Taboos Around Run-out At Non-striker’s End
A further scenario from the batsman’s viewpoint was given by Ashwin, who said that if a player has walked, the captain of the batting squad won’t urge him to continue to bat.
“I find it very surprising to have so many taboos surrounding this mode of dismissal. But the entire dismissal is regarding what the bowler does, right? The right of making that dismissal or making that appeal or making that decision lies with the bowler, right?” said Ashwin.
“In so many games, a batter has nicked and walked without waiting for the umpire’s decision. At that time, the batting team captain won’t come and ask, “With whose permission did you walk like that? Did you forget the team’s cause? Go back and continue playing.”
“So, these different treatments for bowlers and batters have been taking place for so many years now.”
