IPL 2020: All smiles as R Ashwin stops Mankading against Aaron Finch

R Ashwin trends on Social media as he stops Mankading against RCB batsmen Aaron Finch.

It was an all-smiles moment in IPL 2020 cricket as Delhi Capitals frontline bowler R Ashwin stops mankading, which has been controversial all these days, against Royal Challengers batsman Aaron Finch.

In the past, Ashwin raised controversy saying he will Mankad without any warning whenever he gets an opportunity in cricket.The argument started when the then-KXIP captain was bowling to Rajasthan Royal batsman Jos Buttler.

His comments did not go well with the seniors like Ricky Ponting, igniting a cold war between Ashwin and Ponting.However, when the two united for Delhi Capitals for the IPL 2020, Ashwin chose not to Mankad this time.

In the match against RCB on Monday, Ashwin deliberately left the opportunity when Aaron Finch was far away from the non-striker’s end while Ashwin was bowling.Immediately the cameras focused on Ricky Ponting who had been smiling after Ashwin didn’t choose Mankading.

Before the start of the season, Ricky Ponting said that none of the Delhi players would Mankad before a warning.It seems the DC bowler has obeyed his coach’s orders.
