Ashwin 'ain't winning any spirit of cricket awards'
A mankading dismissal always brings out strong reactions, and it was no different when R Ashwin ran out Jos Buttler
Sorry - one more thing to add. If Ben Stokes did what Ashwin did to @imVkohli it would be ok ? I'm just very disappointed in Ashwin as I thought he had integrity & class. Kings lost a lot of supporters tonight. Especially young boys and girls ! I do hope the BCCI does something

Hopefully I'm playing in the World Cup final and if @imVkohli is batting when I'm bowling I would never ever ever ever ever ever.....just clarifying to the mentions I've received#hallabol

So disappointed in @ashwinravi99 as a Captain & as a person. All captains sign the #IPL wall & agree to play in the spirit of the game. RA had no intention of delivering the ball - so it should have been called a dead ball. Over to u BCCI - this a not a good look for the #IPL

I can't believe what I'm seeing!! @IPL Terrible example to set for young kids coming through. In time I think Ashwin will regret that.

Don't blame Ashwin here. As it's allowed in the Laws of the game.. how is it disrespectful or against the spirit of the game if it's allowed within the Laws of game?

Blame the administrators for making the Law.
Law is above The Mythical Spirit of The Game. Don't fret. Don't frown. #Ashwin #Buttler #RRvKXIP #IPL

Interesting reading comments on @ashwinravi99 mankad.... a) it's in the rules.... change the rule! b) not in the spirit of the game. Is this the behaviour we want youngsters to follow? Lets take care of our game...@ProfDeano @MichaelVaughan @Eoin16 @IPL @ICC

One can't use spirit of the game as per his/her convenience. Ashwin did his part and rest was upto umpires and umpires gave him out as per the rules. #RRvKXIP #IPL

My thoughts on the Mankad. Its not cheating, it's not against the spirit as it's in the rules you can do it. Personally I would warn someone if I was to do it but the batsman should also play fair by staying behind the crease. It's a bit like the underarm serve in tennis right??

If @josbuttler had been warned well that's fine ... if he hasn't and it's the first time I think @ashwinravi99 is completely out of order ... watch how often this happens from now on !!!!!!! #IPL

Feel sad for #JosButtler. Hope this rule changes to give a compulsory warning first, before a bowler can go for #mankading #VivoIPL #RRvKXIP #SpiritOfTheGame!

My opinion on the Buttler/Ashwin controversy is that its NOT Buttlers fault and its NOT Ashwins fault either
— Scott Styris (@scottbstyris) March 25, 2019
Ashwin is entitled to appeal
I thought the TV umpire made the incorrect decision
Shouldve been dead ball..... play on
Endless argument and Many will debate it, but ask any professional cricketer in the world if a "mankad" is acceptable.... 99% will say absolutely not.... the other 1% are bell ends!! #ipl #spiritofcricket #KXIPvRR

Very very poor wasn't it

There are rules. And cameras. Now stop spamming my mentions and do it on Ashwin's timeline. Also, Awwwwww Ankit .

This is why Instagram is so much nicer than Twitter . Folks only ask about important things like my non existent skin care routine or my lipstick shade or what my kids had for dinner.

I have been getting messages and tags and mentions from upset Indian cricket fans all morning - some angry, some supportive - because they have mistaken me for English cricketer Jos Buttler, it's been quite a day for me on twitter dot com https://t.co/ikEO8w8lmP
