Shikhar Dhawan reacts derisively when Ashwin tries to 'Mankad' him
Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan, who plays for Delhi franchise in the Indian Premier League, mocked Ravichandran Ashwin after the spinner warned him to stay inside the crease at non-strikers' endduring a match between Delhi and Punjab at the Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday.
Punjab skipper Ashwin has remained in the headlines lately for 'Mankading' controversy when he ran out Rajasthan's Jos Buttler, who was at the non-strikers' end, without giving him any warning.
Buttler's dismissal during a match between Rajasthan and Punjab triggered a spirit of game debate and left the cricket world divided.
Now, Shikhar has taken a jibe at the incident after Ashwin threatened him of 'Mankad' run out in the 13th over.
The incident happened when Ashwin aborted his delivery while bowling the fourth ball of the over to give a warning to Dhawan.
Shikhar, who can be seen inside the crease in the TV replays, sat on one knee facing the bowler as his immediate reaction on the incident.
