Overview
- In the fifth over of Dindigul’s innings on June 8, Ashwin was given out lbw to R Sai Kishore on a delivery that replays indicated had pitched outside the leg stump.
- Ashwin confronted umpire Venkatesan Krithika over the decision, then struck his bat against his pads and later threw his gloves in visible frustration.
- A TNPL hearing imposed a 10% fine for dissent and an additional 20% for equipment misuse, penalties which Ashwin accepted without appeal.
- His dismissal triggered a collapse from 39/1 to 93 all out in 16.2 overs, and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans secured a nine-wicket victory.
- Dindigul Dragons sit fifth in the TNPL standings with one win and one loss and will next face Madurai Panthers on June 14.
