Now R Ashwin’s big statement has come on this, he has criticized Rishabh Pant’s decision.

What did Ashwin say

Ashwin said on YouTube channel, ‘If Jitesh Sharma was out of the crease before the bowler was in the delivery straight, he could be given out. The bowler’s appeal was correct. Digvesh landed the front foot and Jitesh was in the crease. So those outs were not given but what Rishabh Pant did was wrong. The captain’s job is to support his player, but he rejected his appeal in front of crores of people. This is derogatory. The job of a captain is to support your player, not to let him down.

Ashwin also explained his example during this time. He said that when he was in Punjab Kings and Jose Butler was dismissed like this. Then when he went to Delhi, Ricky Ponting told him that we do not want you to appeal like this now. Ashwin said, “Yes, this is right, you can already speak your player like this.”
