The Charlie Dean‘s run-out by Deepti Sharma during the third and final Women’s ODI between India and England has triggered a lot of whoosh in the cricket fraternity. Recently, veteran Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle had slammed the English media for their response over the whole episode, blaming their culture for forcing their opinions on others.
Now, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has moreover joined the bandwagon, stating that unrepealable people who have problems with the non-striker’s run-out tend to play the victim card. Notably, Ashwin had moreover washed-up the same during the 2019 Indian Premier League (IPL) when he had run-out Jos Buttler.
Ashwin said it was a bit worrisome for the world in the initial phase, but most of them have now started realizing that bowlers don’t commit any treason whenever they stupefy the non-strikers’ run-out.
“In the beginning, the whole world saw it that way. But now, most of them have started realizing that the bowlers didn’t commit any treason there. Many of them have started asking why you are asking questions to the innocent instead of asking the person who should be guilty. Only a unrepealable section of the people seems to have a problem with this. In my opinion, they unchangingly play the victim card. But whenever there is something new happening, there will be some resistance to transpiration by a few people, and that is understandable,” said Ashwin on his YouTube channel.
Ashwin observed that when strikers step out of the crease, they can be dismissed by wicketkeepers, and this should be the specimen for non-strikers, too, as they can moreover get run-out from the bowler legitimately.
“Yes, I am talking well-nigh the run-out at the non-striker’s end washed-up by Deepti Sharma dismissing Charlie Dean. I have once spoken unbearable on this subject already. So let me be short and sweet today. Risk vs Reward. Just like how a thrash knows when he steps out of the ruckle versus a spinner or a pacer that a wicketkeeper can dismiss them by stumping. Likewise, a non-striker should moreover know that he can be dismissed run-out legitimately if they alimony stepping out of the ruckle and taking that uneaten yard,” explained Ashwin.
“We should teach the kids right from when they are young on this. Because in today’s world of competitive cricket, I spoke well-nigh this during the Ahmedabad Test match when the pitch issue’ was brought up on what was a good pitch. I told ‘do not tenancy the narratives’. Because a unrepealable section of people consciously chooses to instil in others how they should think well-nigh a unrepealable thing. They tenancy their narratives. There are many wares on this word-for-word subject. In fact, I see this as a bowler’s revolution,” he added.
