Ravi Ashwin and controversy have a fair relationship like nail and skin. In the recent turn of events, Ravi Ashwin was seen misbehaving with the on-field decision during the TNPL game.
Ashwin is one of the important players for Dindigul Dragons, and opening the batting, he was doing well. But Ashwin was adjudged wrongly, and was also fined.
[Update] What Actually Happened in the Ashwin-TNPL Controversy
No, Ashwin isn’t an easy player when it comes to rules. Ravi Ashwin’s TNPL controversy surrounds the wrong decision.
The 5th ball of the 5th over was delivered by Sai Kishore. He was around the wicket and was planning to stop the run flow. Ashwin, who was batting well, missed the sweep, and the ball hit the pads. Umpire in the match, Venkatesan Krithika, raised the finger.
Even though the ball was pitching outside leg to the naked eye, the decision had to be respected. Dindigul didn’t have any reviews left, which made matters worse.
Ashwin had to walk back to the dugout, even though he was not actually out. The star off-spinner was so furious that he threw the gloves, and also hit the leg pad with his bat.

[What’s Happening] Ravi Ashwin Is Fined Again
Ravi Ashwin has retired from international cricket, and his keen focus for the time is domestic or franchise cricket. Being the captain and the opening batter of the Dindigul Dragons, Ashwin has, yet again, come under controversy.
He was mistakenly adjudged LBW on a ball delivered by Sai Kishore. Even though the ball seemed to be pitching outside the leg, he was given out.
Not only that he did show dissent over the decision for which he was fined 30%. 10% have been fined for bad behaviour towards the umpire, while 20% have been fined for misuse of the equipment.
Fans on social media, too, didn’t seem happy with it.

Dindigul Dragons Lost The Match
The furious Ravi Ashwin was well justified. But things got even worse when his team was blown away after his wicket. Idream Tiruppur won the game.
Tiruppur tightened the screws hard and they had nothing to lose for the time being. Dindigul was bowled out for 93 runs, and the chasing team won the game in the 12th over with 9 wickets in hand.
Esakkimuthu was the star with the ball as he took 4 wickets, while Mathivannan also had 3 wickets to show. Even with the bat in hand, Tushar Raheja the opener,r made 65 and killed the game right away.
Karan Chauhan’s Take
Ashwin and controversy follow each other all the time. Be it his mankading saga or also going one-on-one with the sledging talks, Ashwin never holds back.
This time around, though, things didn’t go according to the plan for the allrounder. He should take things with more sensibility next time before he runs into an umpire with arguments.
