Cricket Viral Video: Young Ashwin Mankads Sri Lankan player, What Sachin & Sehwag did next will surprise you | Watch

Cricket Viral Video: Known for his sheer spin and debate-ful 'Mankad' dismissals, R Ashwin has always taken up the limelight for his wickets. However, not many know that he had executed a mankading dismissal in international cricket back in 2012. However, during that incident, stand-in captain Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar decided to go against the appeal, allowing the batsman to remain at the crease.

Ashwin's controversial Mankad

Back in 2012 during a one-day international against Sri Lanka at the Gabba, Ashwin executed a mankading dismissal on Lahiru Thirimanne. However, when Ashwin appealed and walked towards Sehwag, who appeared surprised by the turn of events, Sehwag and Tendulkar decided not to uphold the appeal, allowing Thirimanne to continue his innings.

During the incident, the two on-field umpires talked with each other before approaching Sehwag to ask about his stance on the appeal. While Sehwag was engaged in conversation with the umpires, Tendulkar joined them and conveyed something to Sehwag. Subsequently, both Sehwag and Tendulkar chose to retract the appeal and resumed the game.

The mankad law permits a bowler to dismiss a batsman at the non-striker's end if the batsman leaves the crease before the bowler delivers the ball. The law does not explicitly mandate the bowler to issue a warning to the batsman if they notice the batsman leaving the crease; instead, the decision is at the discretion of the bowler.
