After the Mankading incident in Indian Premier League, the world cricket is speaking about the pros and cons of Ashwin’s act, which clearly changed the match scenario. The latest to speak on the issue is Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal, who feels it was a damage to the game of cricket.
Kings XI Punjab got their campaign off to a winning start in the Indian Premier League on Monday but their victory was overshadowed by a controversial run out that took place in the second innings with R Ashwin and Jos Buttler being involved in the heat of things.
Ravichandran Ashwin Mankaded Jos Buttler:
Chasing 185 for victory, the Royals were cruising when Jos Buttler was at the crease. Controversy unfolded in the 13th over when Ashwin came into bowl and Mankaded Buttler and appealed immediately. The replays have shown Buttler was out from his crease, which ruled him ”out”.
Recently, Shane Warne showed his disappointment on the act done by Ravichandran Ashwin. He feels that it shouldn’t be done by the International Cricket, as it doesn’t fall under the rules of integrity and spirit of the game.
Further, he went on to add saying that the international players should set examples for the youngsters but not let the game of cricket down by such actions. Meanwhile, the Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal also feels the same asks Ashwin to learn from Sachin, Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and quite a few other cricketers.

Yes True
What Ashwin did was legally correct if not morally

I think these guys are waiting for the exact time to blame Indian cricketers..!! Even this guy Kamran Akmal suspended for match fixing? Mankading is far better than match fixing?
