R Ashwin slams Rishabh Pant for withdrawing Digvesh Rathi’s ‘Mankad’ appeal

Published by Webster

Ravichandran Ashwin has stated that Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant shouldn’t have withdrawn Digvesh Rathi’s run-out appeal against Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Jitesh Sharma in their last game of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Tuesday. The match may have been utterly inconsequential for LSG but it was not devoid of drama. Among the last acts was Rathi attempting to run out a marauding Jitesh Sharma at the non-striker’s end, popularly known as a ‘Mankad’ appeal. Replays showed LSG captain Rishabh Pant seemingly withdrawing the appeal just as the third umpire’s decision of ‘not out’ was shown on the jumbotron in Lucknow. “Until now, everything was right. But after that, commentators started saying that Pant has withdrawn the appeal – what an amazing act of sportsmanship. Grow out of this,” Ashwin said on his Youtube channel Ashwin has played a significant role in bringing the conversation around this mode of dismissal to the mainstream after he ran out Jos Buttler while playing for the Punjab Kings against Rajasthan Royals in the 2019 IPL. …

The Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL) match between host Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday took an interesting turn yet marred by a bit of controversy when LSG bowler Digvesh Rathi tried to run out RCB stand-in-skipper Jitesh Sharma — who was taking the game away from LSG with his blinder — at the non-strikers’ end in the 17th over. Rathi’s appeal, however, was deemed not out after it was sent upstairs. LSG skipper Rishabh Pant also withdrew the appeal when asked by the on-field umpires, but the effect was already ruled out due to the MCC Law 38.3.1.2, which basically won’t allow the bowler to effect the run out after completing the action. While trying to inflict a run-out on the non-strikers’ end, what Rathi did was all under the cricketing rules. However, this didn’t stop voices from questioning the spirit of the game.

It was deemed not out after the appeal went upstairs however, there was still confusion as to whether the not-out decision was in effect because of the technical rules or was it because the LSG skipper Rishabh Pant withdrew the appeal when asked by the on-field umpires.

Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) spinner Digvesh Rathi, known for his flamboyant “notebook” wicket celebration, found himself at the center of social media mockery after LSG’s elimination from the IPL 2025 playoffs. In a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Australian YouTuber Jake Jeakings, resembling England’s Sam Curran, mimicked Rathi’s signature celebration from the stands, adding to the spinner’s troubles. This incident followed a heated on-field exchange between Rathi and SRH’s Abhishek Sharma, further intensifying the spotlight on Rathi’s conduct. The match, held at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, saw LSG posting a competitive total of 205/7, with significant contributions from Mitchell Marsh (65) and Aiden Markram (61).

The turning point came during the eighth over of SRH’s innings when Rathi dismissed Sharma and celebrated with his trademark “notebook” gesture, which has previously drawn criticism and fines.
