IPL 2020: R Ashwin follows Ricky Ponting’s advice, doesn’t ‘Mankad’ Finch for leaving his crease
Delhi Capitals off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin gave Royal Challengers Bangalore opener Aaron Finch a warning for leaving his crease of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 match in Dubai on Monday (October 5).
The incident occurred within the third over of RCB’s innings, when Finch was caught nicely outdoors the crease by Ashwin on the non-striker’s finish, however he didn’t try to ‘Mankad’ Finch and allowed him to return to his crease.
After the match, Ashwin tweeted,“Let’s make it clear !! First and final warning for 2020. I am making it official and don’t blame me later on. @RickyPonting #runout #nonstriker @AaronFinch5 and I are good buddies btw.,” he wrote on Twitter.
Let’s make it clear !! First and last warning for 2020. I’m making it official and don’t blame me afterward. @RickyPonting #runout #nonstriker @AaronFinch5 and I are good buddies btw. #IPL2020

It could also be recalled that earlier than the beginning of IPL 2020, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting had spoken to Ashwin on ‘Mankading’ and has requested him to not ‘Mankad’ any non-striker.
Ashwin grabbed headlines in 2019 when he ‘Mankaded’ Jos Buttler. Ashiwn’s motion sparked a debate over “spirit of cricket”. Ponting too didn’t assist Ashwin’s motion.
“There’s ways that you can actually stop batsmen cheating like that. If the bowler was to stop and the batsman was a foot out of his crease for instance, you just penalise him some runs or something. Do that and then they won’t do it again,” Ponting stated throughout a Youtube dialog with Ashwin. “You’ve solely bought to do this as soon as at the beginning of a event after which all of the gamers see it, and I assure that gamers will not be fudging any floor from there on.
“I chatted to some of the match referees about it during last year’s IPL as well. If the umpires make a stance and do something to actually warn the batsman that they might be cheating, then that’s better than having the ugly incident of a mankad,” he added.
