New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin is not pleased with Rishabh Pants choice to abandon a run-out appeal against RCB stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma at the non-strikers during Tuesdays match calling it an insult towards the bowler who can feel tiny and wounded. In the 17th over of the match on Tuesday in RCBs nail-biting chase LSGs Digvesh Rathi removed the bails after noticing that Jitesh had vacated the crease at the non-batting end. The replays indicated though the batter was out of the crease the decision was rejected as the bowler had run through his delivery stride. But as it all went down Pant withdrew the appeal after which Jitesh embraced the other wicketkeeper-batter. RCB won the match by six wickets. Ravichandran Ashwin the star bowler who has been the part of mankading before wanted that Rishabh Pant should have supported his bowler. Let me dive into the technicalities of this incident. Is Jitesh Sharma justified in being out if he stepped out of the crease before he (Rathi) got into the delivery stride? Yes he is justified in being given out and the bowler is also well-justified he said on his YouTube show. Digvesh Rathi landed at the front foot and Jitesh Sharma was inside the crease. So in all technical possibilities this is not out. And what happened? After hitting the stump (umpire) Michael Gough asked Digvesh Rathi (but) he didnt ask him are you sure?” He asked him whether he was appealing. “He (Rathi) said ‘yes I am appealing’. So he (Gough) went to the third umpire and the third umpire took the right decision. He said he has crossed his delivery stride the batsman is inside the crease I have a decision not out” Ashwin added. The Indian spin legend however added he did not like Pant taking back the appeal. Now till now everything is fine. Bowler has hit appealed not out. Its just another day in the office. But what happened? After this during the match (the) commentators said ‘Rishabh Pant has withdrawn the appeal. What an amazing act of sportsmanship!’” Come on yaar. Lets grow out of this. ......I am asking one question. Think about it Digvesh Rathi is your son. Whoever is watching this video he is your son and Digvesh Rathis captain has criticised his decision in front of crores of people. Its actually gone over the board because look a captains job is actually to back a player. Alright? A captains job is to not make a bowler feel small. By making this decision of pulling away an appeal he should have done it earlier he added. We dont know if he already spoke to them (LSG camp) or not. But lets stop this vilification of that youngster in front of crores and crores of people. Do we do that to anybody else? Why does a bowler look small? It is actually a humiliation Ashwin opined. What happens is (that) a bowler feels so small that he will never do it and people will say in the comment section that he should not do it. Why? Why shouldnt he do it?” Ashwin added. Digvesh Rathi is not my relative. He is not my friend. I dont know who he is. But I am saying… You will scar a bowler so much that it will really affect him. But because nobody really cares about a bowler. So in front of crores of people should we withdraw his appeal and insult him? he asked.
