IPL: Virender Sehwag Remembers When MS Dhoni Scolded R Ashwin For Ship-Off

Former Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) participant, Virender Sehwag recollected an notorious incident in relation to the ‘Spirit of the sport’ that concerned spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, MS Dhoni and Glenn Maxwell all through the 2014 version of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Talking to Cricbuzz.com, Sehwag recalled how Ashwin blew grime after disregarding Maxwell, in a ship off to the batsman, whilst enjoying for Chennai Tremendous Kings (CSK). Sehwag, who was once on the different finish of the crease, printed that Dhoni wasn’t inspired with this act or even scolded the bowler for it.

Sehwag mentioned, “When I used to be enjoying for Punjab, (Ravichandran) Ashwin pushed aside (Glenn) Maxwell after which he picked up some mud and blew at him. I did not like that. However I by no means got here out and spoke publicly about whether or not what he did was once mistaken or towards the ‘Spirit of the sport’, despite the fact that MS Dhoni were given indignant or even scolded him.”

Sehwag appeared again and said how that incident will have was a large factor had any participant taken to social media or talked to the media about it.

“It was once Ashwin’s want to do this. And if any participant spoke concerning the incident after the fit to the media, or on social media then that still would have develop into a large factor. It is the avid gamers’ accountability — no matter occurs at the box will have to now not be allowed to return out,” Sehwag added.

Sehwag’s perspectives are available regard to the newest case of ‘Spirit of cricket’ involving Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Eoin Morgan and Ashwin as soon as once more.
