Star Indian all rounder R. Ashwin was involved in an ugly controversy during the ongoing Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). The game between Ashwin’s side Dindigul Dragons and Chepauk Super Gillies turned sour when an unsightly incident unfolded between members of the two teams. To make things a little worrisome for Indian fans, R. Ashwin too was involved in the episode where the matter escalated to such a level that the players had to retort to physical contact.
Dindigul chasing 173 to win, looked in the game despite the required run rate mounting with every over. Opener N. Jagadeesan was alongside Dindigul skipper R. Ashwin for the fourth wicket and the two were eager to get to the target. Jagadeesan though, was dismissed trying to play a rash shot on 60 in 16th over of the run chase.
It was here when things took a turn for the absolute bowler. Jagadeesan and the bowler, R. Sai Kishore exchanged a few words before Kishore pushed Jagdeesan in anger. Ashwin, who was the non striker, quickly jumped to his partner’s rescue and shoed the bowler away. Seeing an international star like Ashwin getting into the fight, a few players of Chepauk too stepped in to separate the players.
Ashwin went on to play a heroic knock of 49 off just 23 deliveries. However, that wasn’t enough as his side fell short by 5 runs. Below, is the video of the ugly altercation between members of the two teams.
