Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed S Radhakrishnan with a straightforward return catch on the fourth delivery of the ninth over during the fixture between IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans vs Dindigul Dragons. However, as he took the catch, Ashwin also attempted a run out on the non-striker’s end for some reason.
Ashwin bowled a fuller-length delivery on the off-stump line, to which Radhakrishnan went on the back foot to play. However, he couldn’t place the ball properly and hit it straight towards the bowler with an aerial drive, where Ashwin completed a simple catch to complete the dismissal.
After catching the ball, Ashwin immediately turned back and tried to affect a run-out, where the non-striker was out of his crease. However, he couldn’t target the stumps properly, and the ball went away behind the sticks.
Had Ashwin hit it, that wouldn’t have mattered since the ball became dead once he completed the catch. It’s perplexing to interpret what Ashwin was trying to do there, or maybe he just did it in jest without thinking anything just because the non-striker was out of his crease during the whole process.
