“Who Are The Players You Can Mankad in IPL 2020?” R Ashwin Responds to Fan’s Question!

Ravichandran Ashwin who was traded to Delhi Capitals (DC) by Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) has said that he will mankad anyone who goes out of the crease in the coming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

During one of his interactive sessions on Twitter, a fan asked, "Who are the potential batsmen you can Mankad this IPL?". Ashwin responded by saying, "Anyone that goes out of the crease".

Ashwin had received mixed reactions after he mankaded England batsman Jos Buttler in the previous edition of the tournament. He paused before delivering the ball and took the bails off which led to the third umpire declaring Buttler out.

Under the captaincy of Ashwin, KXIP exhibited a good show in the first half of the past two seasons before losing momentum in the second half. The franchise finished 7th in 2018 and 6th in 2019.

Ashwin will join the likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey, Jason Roy and Chris Woakes at the Delhi Capitals.
