Ashwin Mankad IPL: Ravi Ashwin reminds citizens of staying indoors during lockdown on first anniversary of him mankading Jos Buttler
Ravi Ashwin reminds citizens of staying indoors: The Indian spinner took to social media platform Twitter to warn citizens regarding going out.
During the fourth match of the 12th season of the Indian Premier League between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab in Jaipur, Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin ran out Rajasthan Royals wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler by mankading him.
The legal but debatable dismissing invited opinions from across the globe including a Twitter debate between legendary spinner Shane Warne and illustrious commentator Harsha Bhogle.
England, who strongly oppose this mode of dismissal, supported Buttler who was seen not shaking hands with Ashwin after Kings XI registered a 14-run victory.

It is worth mentioning that the incident had happened exactly a year ago. The 33-year old spinner took to his social media platform Twitter account to take a sensible dig at the mode of dismissal.
Referring to the dismissal in his tweet, Ashwin laid emphasis on how Indians can stay safe by staying inside in times of a nationwide lockdown. Ashwin has also renamed his Twitter account as “lets stay indoors India”.
Hahaha, somebody sent me this and told me it’s exactly been 1 year since this run out happened.
As the nation goes into a lockdown, this is a good reminder to my citizens.
Don’t wander out. Stay inside, stay safe! #21DayLockdown pic.twitter.com/bSN1454kFt

#21daylockdown related to 22 Yards!
When rule makers have set out guidelines & instructions, follow that, it’s in best interest of everyone involved in.
Don’t disrespect it, venture out & then say oh I went only one day only, to see my friend, not intended for this, that etc.
