    IPL 2025: It Is Actually A Humiliation For Bowler, Says Ashwin On Pant Withdrawing Run-out Appeal

    Lucknow Super Giants: Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has criticised Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant for withdrawing the appeal of a run-out from the non-striker’s end during their final Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

    During the match at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, on the fifth ball of the 17th over of RCB’s chase, spinner Digvesh Rathi pulled out of his bowling action and inflicted a run-out of PBKS stand-in captain Jitesh Sharma at the non-striker's end. Rathi appealed for it, which was then referred to the third umpire, who ruled Jitesh not out as the bowler had seemingly completed his delivery stride.

    Even if the third umpire had ruled Jitesh out, the wicketkeeper-batter would have been safe as Pant told the on-field umpires that he would be withdrawing the appeal. Pant’s decision was labelled as a great act of sportsmanship by on-air commentators, but it didn’t please Ashwin, who caused the run-out of Jos Buttler in a similar fashion in IPL 2019.
