The Ravi Ashwin Story- Ravichandran Ashwin has joined Delhi Capitals in this season’s Indian Premier League. The IPL is all set to begin from the 19th of September in the United Arab Emirates. The players are getting ready for the much-awaited tournament for the cricket fans all over the World. In the meantime, Delhi Capital’s head coach Ricky Ponting’s statement has given rise to a controversy.
Ricky Ponting has clearly mentioned that he will be having a chat with Ravichandran Ashwin regarding this matter after the player joins the team. In the previous edition of Indian Premier League, Ravichandran Ashwin mankaded Jos Buttler. Ravichandran Ashwin was the captain of Kings XI Punjab in the previous season. At one important moment of the match, Jos Buttler got out in that fashion. Rajasthan Royals were at a good position in the run chase in that match. However, after the departure of Jos Buttler, they lost their way in the watch and ultimately they failed to win the match.

The incident had given rise to a big controversy. Few players supported Ravichandran Ashwin as it was not against the law of cricket. However, most of them were not happy with this attitude of Ashwin. According to them, it was not an example of fair play. The former Australian captain, Ricky Ponting was in the second group. Ricky Ponting told that he organized a team meeting after watching that incident in the previous season. He clearly suggested to the boys that this was not how his team should play cricket. After this incident, many players might try to adopt this thing. However, he would expect that his players would not be involved in such incidents.
Ricky Ponting has shown immense respect towards Ravichandran Ashwin for his brilliant career for Indian Cricket Team. Ravichandran Ashwin has also done a superb job in the Indian Premier League. He was a key bowler of Chennai Super Kings for many years. After that, he moved to Rising Pune Supergiants and he was the captain of Kings XI Punjab in the previous season. Ricky Ponting has also mentioned that Ravichandran Ashwin has one of their prime targets in this season’s auction and Delhi Capitals will be trying to use the huge experience of Ravichandran Ashwin in this format.
What Was The Actual Statement Made?
After this statement of Ricky Ponting, Ravichandran Ashwin’s wife has given a hilarious reply. Ravichandran Ashwin is all set to leave his home to play in this season’s Indian Premier League. Prithi Ashwin has said on Twitter,
“Last evening with beau @ashwinravi99 before he leaves for the IPL, which is basically forever. But the headlines made me ‘The Butler’ for tonight. #mytimeranout #thatthatmanthatthatproblem”
Prithi Ashwin’s reply has also gone viral in the next few hours. However, there is yet no reply from Ravi Ashwin regarding this matter. Now it will be very much interesting to see what will be an equation between Ravichandran Ashwin and Ricky Ponting after these exchanges. This incident might create an impact on the team spirit of Delhi Capitals in this season’s Indian Premier League.
