It’s beautiful to see all the concrete stands and how all these things have changed now. But I would like to say again it was a great experience playing league cricket here.” “I have played a lot of international cricket here, and it is always great to play in front of this crowd. Because it is one of the most supportive and appreciative crowds in the country. This crowd really knew cricket and loved cricket. So, (I) love playing at Chepauk. (I) scored my 10,000th run on this ground, so it was a really nice, special moment.” Dravid recently resigned as head coach after a stunning victory in the T20 World Cup final.

TNPL 2024: Ravichandran Ashwin got angry on the attempt of Mankading himself and said – he does not even know the rules…
This incident was seen between Dindigul Dragons and Nellai Royal Kings in TNPL Ravichandran Ashwin (Image Credit- Twitter X) Veteran Indian cricket team spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was seen lashing out at an on-air commentator for attempting a mankading out on him in the ongoing Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL 2024) match. While Ashwin has reacted to this Mankading attempt by a user through social media. It is worth noting that in the ongoing TNPL, a match was played between Dindigul Dragons and Nellai Royal Kings on 28th July. In this match, bowler Mohit Prasad was seen warning Ashwin for a runout at the non-striker’s end during the 15th over of Dindigul Dragons’ innings. However, at this time when the bowler was about to release the ball at the non-striker’s end, Ashwin’s bat was inside the crease.

While answering this user, Ashwin wrote – because he (the commentator) does not know the rules. See this tweet of Ravichandran Ashwin Cos they don’t know the rule pic.twitter.com/r1B6Ndyyue — Ashwin 🇮🇳 (@ashwinravi99) July 29, 2024 what is the rule of doing mankading So in the year 2017, ICC issued a rule regarding this, according to which – when the batsman standing at non-strike goes out of the crease before the bowler bowls the ball, then during this time if the bowler gets him out, then it is called ‘Mankading’ run out. But the necessary condition for this is that the ball should not have been thrown till the bowler has ‘Mankaded’ the batsman. That is, once the bowler’s hand is ready to throw the ball at around 90 degrees, then he cannot do Mankading during this time. Because at this time it is considered that the bowler was completely ready to throw the ball.

So this is not the first time that he has been seen at the auction table with his team. Earlier in February last year, during the Test series against Australia, Ashwin had taken out time and reached Chennai to participate in the auction with the team. Last season, Dindigul Dragons had retained Ashwin for four matches, but after that he could not participate in the remaining TNPL season due to playing in the World Test Championship. In the four matches played, Ashwin took four wickets while bowling at an economy of 7.12. So Sanjay Yadav’s excellent catch and use of DRS were some of the special moments of Ashwin this season.
