Ravichandran Ashwin has taken a sly dig on the English media for a way they’ve dealt with the Deepti Sharma-Charlotte Dean run-out controversy by saying that they’ve been enjoying the sufferer card after the incident.
The incident from final week’s third ODI between England and India has been within the headlines for the previous few days with opinion being divided across the globe. Harsha Bhogle had launched an assault on the English media for attempting to vilify the Indian all-rounder for her actions. Ashwin has now commented on the difficulty.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, as quoted by NDTV, Ashwin mentioned that many have began elevating questions as to why the harmless individual is being questioned right here and mentioned that solely a sure part of individuals have a difficulty with this. He mentioned that they at all times attempt to play the sufferer card and at any time when there’s a change at first there shall be resistance.
“In the beginning, the whole world saw it that way. But now, most of them have started realising that the bowlers didn’t commit any crime there. Many of them have started asking why you are asking questions to the innocent instead of asking the person who should be guilty. Only a certain section of the people seems to have a problem with this.”
“In my opinion, they always play the victim card. But whenever there is something new happening, there will be some resistance to change by a few people and that is understandable,” mentioned Ashwin.
The India spinner continued by saying {that a} non-striker ought to know that they are often run-out in the event that they step out of the crease. He additionally mentioned that children ought to be taught this proper from begin earlier than the sure individuals attempt to instill their narratives on the subject. He mentioned that he truly sees the incident as a bowler’s revolution.
“Yes, I am talking about the run-out at the non-striker’s end done by Deepti Sharma dismissing Charlie Dean. I have already spoken enough on this subject already. So let me be short and sweet today. Risk vs Reward. Just like how a batter knows when he steps out of the crease against a spinner or a pacer that a wicketkeeper can dismiss them by stumping. Likewise, a non-striker should also know that he can be dismissed run-out legitimately if they keep stepping out of the crease and taking that extra yard.”
“We should teach the kids right from when they are young on this. Because in today’s world of competitive cricket, I spoke about this during the Ahmedabad Test match when the pitch issue’ was brought up on what was a good pitch. I told ‘do not control the narratives’. Because a certain section of people consciously chooses to instill in others how they should think about a certain thing. They control their narratives. There are many articles on this exact subject. In fact, I see this as a bowler’s revolution,” mentioned Ashwin.
