It all happened during the last over of the match. Ashwin led- Dindigul Dragons almost had their second successive match of the season within their pocket, with 32 runs to defend in the last over. With the Madurai Panther seven wickets down, Ashwin introduced himself into the attack.
Ashwin struck off the first ball by removing the dangerous Abhishek Tanwar and then it was about going through the motions for both the teams. However, with two balls to go, the bowler tried his mystery action which he did in the first game as well, but with a certain twist this time around.
Ashwin had his right hand hiding behind his back, and came reached towards his delivery stride with a small run-up akin a medium pace bowler.
He then, without using his left arm, released a loopy, extremely flighted delivery towards the batsman. The batsman got enticed towards the bait and went in for the almighty heave towards the long-on fence, only to be caught at the fence.
