Ravichandran Ashwin, who was in the news for the incident in the 2019 IPL involving Jos Buttler, has made it clear that it was not against the rules. Ricky Ponting, the head coach of the Delhi Capitals side, ruffled a few feathers when he said until he is the coach of the side, he will not allow Ashwin to Mankad any batsman. We won’t be doing that’.”Now, Ravichandran Ashwin has opened up on this debate and said that he had a telephonic conversation with Ricky Ponting and it made for some interesting conversation. Ashwin mentioned that Ponting was not yet in the UAE and will have a chat about it once he arrives. That’s what it is and next week I will reveal a bit more about my conversation with Ricky,” Ashwin said.
