- Shane Vaughan reacts to a scuffle with Ashwin and Eoin Morgan
- Vaughan said the incident involving Ashwin was insulting and should not have happened
- Ashwin joins World Cup squad four years later
Vaughan said Ashwin’s intervention was insulting. That should never have happened. Why is Ashwin involved in such things? Vaughan also made it clear that Eoin Morgan had every right to speak to Ashwin. The controversy over the extra runs in the last over of the Delhi innings eventually led to a heated walkout.
It is alleged that Tim Southee mocked Ashwin while celebrating his wicket in the last over. Instead, Ashwin provoked Morgan during the Kolkata batting and later. Morgan was out for a run off Ashwin’s delivery. Ashwin celebrated Morgan’s wicket as a response to a walkout in the first innings. Delhi lost the match by three wickets. Chasing a target of 128, Kolkata won the toss and elected to bat with 10 balls to spare.
Ashwin has been embroiled in a similar controversy every IPL season. Earlier, Ashwin had lashed out at Mankad Oot. Ashwin, then a Punjab player, was dropped the following season. Ashwin, who has been named in India’s T20 squad after a long absence, is doing well this time around. India hopes that Ashwin will shine in the World Cup too. The Royals are going down in the decisive match today and RCB should also win, Sanju with changes
