Ravichandran Ashwin said that he would have taken an extra run even if he had seen the ball ricocheting off Rishabh Pant during Delhi Capitals' (DC) match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL). Ashwin's decision to go for the run had irked KKR captain Eoin Morgan and fast bowler Tim Southee. 1. I turned to run the moment I saw the fielder throw and dint know the ball had hit Rishabh.2. Will I run if I see it!?Of course I will and I am allowed to.3. Am I a disgrace like Morgan said I was?Of course NOT.

Ashwin was separated from the pair by KKR wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who later explained that Morgan believes that a batsman should not take an extra run if the ball has ricocheted off him or his partner.
