Following Ravichandran Ashwin’s mankading of Jos Buttler in the IPL, there was a lot of outrage about the action not being in the spirit of cricket. It appeared as if the bowler had in fact waited for the batsman to leave the crease and had then whipped off the bails. Whether Ashwin stops mankading or not, others don’t seem to be forgetting it. The bowler HAD posted a tweet saying: “Pakistan to have to win this game by a margin of 311 runs in order to qualify?? ?? #ICCCricketWorldCup #PakvsBan.”

A Twitter user responded to this by saying: “Even Doing Mankading wont help Pakistan.” Ashwin who had seen this cheeky response, came up with one of his own. He said: “Yes make about 350 and 10 runs outs at the bowlers end????.” Pakistan is now out of the 2019 World Cup.
