Ashwin - Riyan
In the last over bowled by Gujarat players, Jos Butler was run out on no ball. Following this, Ravichandran Ashwin came in to bat and was in the direction of the striker with Riyan Parag on the other side. This time, Yash Dayal threw the ball wide off the stumps. As the ball went wide, Riyan ran to take a fast run. But, without moving a single foot, Ashwin remained standing inside crease. Also, he looked at Riyan and gestured why he was running.
In the middle of this, Riyan also came near Ashwin and stood looking at him with disappointment. Meanwhile, Riyan was also run out. Cricket fans have been commenting on the fact that Ashwin and Riyan alternately expressed a bit of anger when Riyan was run out, wanting to take a strike on the last ball.
