The Mankad saga saw another new chapter involving R Ashwin in IPL during Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore contest in Dubai. Last year, when R Ashwin was Kings XI Punjab captain, used Mankad to dismiss Jos Buttler.
After that, the debate over the controversial form of dismissal had started. The dismissal led to widespread debate on whether it is within the “spirit of the game”.
Before the tournament, the discussion took place where the DC coach Ponting said he would not want his bowlers to dismiss anyone by Mankad.
Now, in Ashwin’s first over against RCB, the off-spinner had a clear chance of dismissing Aaron Finch using the Mankad. Finch was clearly outside his crease while Ashwin was into his run-up.
But instead of clipping off the bails, Ashwin stopped and gave Finch a warning to return to the crease. DC head coach was seen smiling in the dugout.
Why didn’t Ashwin Mankad, again? Oh yeah, it’s 2020. Anything is possible. Or was it the Ricky effect? Ashwin should have knocked the stumps down pic.twitter.com/CkFUaEEU0O

Ashwin too came up with a tweet and made it clear. It was the first and last warning and don’t want to be blamed later.
Let’s make it clear !! First and final warning for 2020. I am making it official and don’t blame me later on. @RickyPonting #runout #nonstriker @AaronFinch5 and I are good buddies btw.😂😂 #IPL2020
