IPL 2019 | Twitter Reacts to Eventful Clash Between Royals & KingsXI Punjab.
Finally managed to break their duck at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium against Rajasthan Royals as they sealed a 14-run victory on Monday. But the game is likely to be remembered for more than just that, wit h Ravichandran Ashwin and Jos Buttler involved in a massive controversy.
Kings XI will get to a big total thanks to a 84 off 42 partnership between Gayle & Sarfaraz. And that’s the long and the short of it

Every remaining innings of Gayle should be a celebration of his unparalleled contribution to world cricket.. Such a marvelous ambassador of the game

No other batsman in T20 cricket puts as much fear in bowlers and opposing fielders as Gayle. Intimidating, even in the winter of his career

Rajasthan Royals got off to a flying start, with Jos Buttler doing a bulk of the damage. But just as he was about to take the game away from the visitors, Ashwin’s effort to Mankad him brought about his downfall, but it raised a massive debate.
OFFICIAL Playing condition interpretation
If you believe Buttler wouldve been in his crease when Ashwin delivered the ball he is NOT OUT

Ashwin, that’s shocking behaviour! Very disappointed to see that.

My final point on this. Ashwin ran Buttler out. It went to the 3rd umpire who is on the ICC Elite panel. He looked at the replays & said the non-striker was out. He is the custodian of the laws & playing conditions. So irrespective of what Ashwin did, it was the umpire's decision

Terrible.... Buttler not trying to steal an advantage. Ashwin out if line if a warning was not given. IPL needs to set an example to millions of kids watching and emulating stars. IPL needs to act on this otherwise it will cascade.

It’s within the laws of the game but Jos Butler should have been warned by Ashwin before that. Very Surprised ! Remember Ashwin doing the same in an international game where Sehwag withdrew the appeal.

As Captain of your side - you set the standard of the way the team wants to play & what the team stands for ! Why do such a disgraceful & low act like that tonight ? You must live with yourself & FYI - it’s to late to say sorry Mr Ashwin. You will be remembered for that low act

Eventually, that proved to be the turned point of the game as RR’s run-chase fell wayward and ended up managing just 170 on the board.
