KCR wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik explained why Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Eoin Morgan and Delhi Capitals spinner Ravichandran Ashwin got into an argument on the field during an Indian Premier League 2021 match.
West Indies skipper Eoin Morgan got into an altercation with Delhi Capitals spinner Ravichandran Ashwin during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 game, according to KKR wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik. KKR defeated Delhi Capitals in the 19th over by chasing down a target of 128 with three wickets in hand, with Nitish Rana scoring an unbeaten 36. KKR now has ten points and is in the fourth position in the league. “After the ball hit Rishabh Pant, it ricocheted off him and Ashwin began to run. That’s what I know. I doubt Morgan understands that, as he is someone who, in the spirit of cricket, expects the batter not to run when the ball hits him. It’s a murky area, but it’s an intriguing one. I have my own thoughts on the matter, but for the time being, I’ll just say that I’m happy to serve as a mediator because things are at a good standstill “in his virtual post-game press conference, Karthik said a lot.
After Ashwin was bowled by Tim Southee in the final over of the DC innings on Tuesday, he and Morgan got into a heated argument.
the KKR team was enraged when Rishabh Pant and Ashwin scored a second run off the final ball of the 19th over, as some believe it is against the Fair Play guidelines to score a run when the fielder’s ball ricochets off the batter. DC captain
Karthik responded to a question about Andre Russell and Lockie Ferguson’s fitness status by saying, “I’m not sure how serious Russell’s injury is. The scans and other procedures are still ongoing. Although Ferguson’s injury does not appear to be life-threatening, the match has just ended and the physio will provide an updated status in a few hours.”
According to KKR wicketkeeper, when asked by ANI about the condition of the Sharjah wicket, “Yes, I’ll admit that it’s not the best surface for a T20 match. It’s sluggish and unfriendly to batters. It’s a win-win situation for bowlers. It comes to a halt on you, making it difficult to make shots. So, to summarise, it’s a poor T20 wicket. It’s a difficult wicket, but I prefer low-scoring contests because the atmosphere is different. That’s made in Sharjah, which is why it’s so intriguing.”
When Lockie Ferguson, Sunil Narine, and Venkatesh Iyer each took two wickets, the Delhi Capitals were held to 127/9 in their twenty overs. earlier on in the game, Rishabh Pant, the captain of Delhi, scored the most runs for his team, amassing 39 off 36 deliveries.
Karthik was asked about Nitish Rana’s performance and said, “Yes, I believe he made a very sound choice in his foul play. The fact that he didn’t leave was a positive development. It was heartening to see him mature in the face of adversity. What matters most to him is making the national team and becoming known, so he must continue to produce these knocks.”
The next IPL matchup pits KKR against Punjab Kings on Friday.
