Ashwin fined millions for being furious on umpire’s decision in TNPL match:

Delhi: In a match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), Ravichandran Ashwin was overwhelmed to express his displeasure over the umpire’s decision. In the match played at Coimbatore between Dindigul Dragons and Tiruppur Tamizhans on Sunday, 8 June, Ashwin was given LBW out, which he expressed anger.

Controversy on ball outside the pitch

The incident happened when Ashwin was playing 18 runs in 11 balls. A ball of bowler Sai Kishore hit his pad, which was called out by the umpire. But Ashwin believed that the ball was picked outside the leg stump, so he was not out.

Dragons’ team had already used DRS on two wide balls, so Ashwin did not have a chance to challenge the umpire’s decision. After being dismissed, Ashwin angrily bathed his pad and also threw the gloves in anger.
