Delhi Capitals(DC) off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who restrained himself from 'Mankading' Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) batsman Aaron Finch, has stated that this was the "first and final warning" of IPL 2020 and he won't stop himself from running out a batsman at the non-strikers' end in the remaining part of the tournament.
"Let's make it clear!!! First and final warning for 2020. I am making it official and don't blame me later on. Ricky Ponting, #runout #nonstriker, Aaron Finch and I are good buddies by the way," Ashwin said in a tweet.
On Monday, during RCB's chase of 197, Ashwin stopped short of his run-up to warn Finch about stepping outside the crease a little too early. The incident happened before the fourth delivery of the third over, the off-spinner held onto the ball and did not complete the delivery, instead, pointing out to the Australian batter at the non-striker's end that he could have gotten him out.
