Sehwag & Ashwin Lash Out At Eoin Morgan In A Series Of Tweets Post Scuffle During DCvsKKR | RVCJS
Delhi Capitals has been performing great in the IPL 2021 under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant but in its last match which was against Kolkata Knight Riders, its performance was not as per the expectations and KKR won the match by 3 wickets with 10 balls remaining in its innings.
However, the match also gained attention because of the verbal spat which took place between DC spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and KKR skipper Eoin Morgan. The incident was all about Ashwin calling Rishabh Pant for an extra run after the ball ricocheted (rebounded) off the DC skipper and it happened on the last delivery of the 19th over.
When Tim Southee took the wicket of Ashwin, the former said something to the Indian spinner who made no delay in giving him back but things turned uglier when the KKR skipper also started arguing with Ashwin. Later on, KKR player Dinesh Karthik talked about the incident in detail and revealed why Eoin Morgan was not happy with Ashwin. DK stated that Rahul Tripathi threw the ball and it got ricocheted after hitting Pant and what Morgan didn’t like was that Ashwin called Pant for an extra run as Morgan feels that it is against the spirit of the game.
However, this didn’t go well with the former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag who reminded Morgan that something similar happened in the finals of the WC2019 as ball got ricocheted after hitting Ben Stokes’ bat and went for four. These four runs were of great importance as they helped England in tying the match against New Zealand and then England won the match in the super over.
Eoin Morgan leads the England cricket team in the short formats and Viru paaji took a dig at him by tweeting, “On July 14th , 2019 when it ricocheted of Ben Stokes bat in the final over, Mr Morgan sat on a Dharna outside Lord’s and refused to hold the World cup trophy and New Zealand won. Haina? Bade aaye, ‘doesn’t appreciate’ waale”.

R Ashwin also responded with a six-tweet thread in which he made it clear that he was not aware that the ball had hit Rishabh Pant but he also stated that he would still have taken a run if he had seen it because he is allowed to do this.
Ashwin also said that he is not a disgrace as Morgan said and he didn’t fight, he just stood up for himself as he is taught by his teachers and parents and he also asked the online users to make their kids learn to stand for themselves.
Here are six tweets in which Ashwin slammed the KKR skipper:
1. I turned to run the moment I saw the fielder throw and dint know the ball had hit Rishabh.
2. Will I run if I see it!?
Of course I will and I am allowed to.
3. Am I a disgrace like Morgan said I was?
Of course NOT.— Mask up and take your vaccine

4. Did I fight?
No, I stood up for myself and that’s what my teachers and parents taught me to do and pls teach your children to stand up for themselves.
In Morgan or Southee’s world of cricket they can choose and stick to what they believe is right or wrong but do not have the— Mask up and take your vaccine
right to take a moral high ground and use words that are derogatory.
What’s even more surprising is the fact that people are discussing this and also trying to talk about who is the good and bad person here!
To all the ‘Cricket is a gentleman’s game’ fans in the house’:
— Mask up and take your vaccine
There are millions of cricketers with several thought processes that play this great game to make it their careers, teach them that an extra run taken due to a poor throw aimed to get you out can make your career and an extra yard stolen by the non striker can break your career
— Mask up and take your vaccine
Do not confuse them by telling them that you will be termed a good person if you refuse the run or warn the non striker, because all these people who are terming you good or bad have already made a living or they are doing what it takes to be successful elsewhere.
— Mask up and take your vaccine
Give your heart and soul on the field and play within the rules of the game and shake your hands once the game is over.
The above is the only ‘spirit of the game’ I understand.
— Mask up and take your vaccine
Do you agree with Ashwin?
