During the high-profile Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC), R Ashwin was seen giving a warning to the RCB opener, Aaron Finch for getting too far out of his crease as the Indian spinner was bowling in the second innings.

R Ashwin bowled brilliantly against RCB

Ashwin had received a lot of flak when he ran Jos Buttler out in a similar fashion in the last season of the IPL. Moreover, after sealing his move to Delhi Capitals, coach Ricky Ponting had said that he would speak to Ashwin about running the non-striker out, termed as Mankading after former India all-rounder Vinoo Mankad.

RCB made a couple of changes to their playing XI from the previous game as they replaced Adam Zampa and Gurkeerat Singh Mann, replacing them with Moeen Ali and Mohammed Siraj respectively.

But the incident got Twitter going and this is how fans reacted on the social media platform after Ashwin’s warning:
