During the second innings of Royal Challengers Bangalore against Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020, on Monday (October 5), Ravichandran Ashwin left the entire cricketing fraternity bamboozled as this time he let go RCB's batsman Aaron Finch when the non-striker strayed outside the crease before the offie had released the ball. ## The incident turned out to be a quite strange one as Ashwin, playing for Kings XI Punjab, had Mankad Jos Buttler in the last year's IPL when Rajasthan Royals' star batman strayed outside the no-striker crease. Ashwin had later on clarified that he was within the rules and won't be afraid of doing it again.## The incident of letting go finch with a warning soon becomes a huge talking point on social media as fans started to discuss how Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting might have convinced Ashwin against Mankading the non-striker this season.## Taking to Twitter, Ashwin posted a matured tweet regarding the incident while also expressing how friendly are the terms between him, DC coach Ponting as well as RCB batsman Finch. "Let’s make it clear !! First and final warning for 2020. I am making it official and don’t blame me later on. @RickyPonting #runout #nonstriker @AaronFinch5 and I are good buddies btw. #IPL2020", he tweeted.## Let’s make it clear !!

The Rishabh Pant Show In MI's Den IPL

The Rishabh Pant Show In MI's Den

How many batsmen are there or you know who can hit Jasprit Bumrah with ease? You might be scratching your head and still thinking about those batsmen but let me tell you that there is probably no one or maybe a few who can do wonder against Bumrah and if you know such batsmen then add Rishabh Pant also in that list. After his knock against MI and the way he played against Bumrah, there is no doubt left why he shouldn't be in that list.## Pant has played a blinder and in that process, he took world's best bowler apart. Though he could score only 18 off 7 balls off Bumrah, the way he smashed him, speaks loud about the immense talent he has. It was all about hitting the ball and he did better than anyone else against the best in the business in the limited overs cricket.## The 21-year old has started the IPL 2019 season from where he left in 2018. He took just 27 balls to dismantle the MI's bowling in their own den. He purposefully hitting the ball out of the park with such ease and Mumbai Indians' bowlers have the no answers of his unorthodox batting. They actually couldn't do anything in the way Pant was assaulting them.## "I always bat according to the situation all the time. Today when I came in, I had to up the ante and so took my chances. It came off tonight. (On his unorthodox methods) Especially in T20, you have to do something different. Sometimes when bowlers cramp you for the room, you got to make your own room. (Whether he is ok with batting at 5) Well, glad to bat anywhere the team wants me to", Pant said in the presentation ceremony.## It is not just that Jasprit Bumrah was the only bowler who became the victim of Pant's assault. Pant's carnage started from the 15th over when he took Ben Cutting on for 4, 4, 6 before going after Hardik Pandya for 6, 4, 6 in the next over. It was looking almost impossible to stop him when he got going and a wild heave shot which he usually plays has become a trademark style of his batting.## But, as it is said that a good batsman is good when he hit a good bowler. Well, nothing could stop Pant who already gone nuts before hitting a nearly impossible shot to Bumrah who nailed the yorker with almost perfection but Pant went deep in the crease and unleashes the half-helicopter shot over deep square leg for a maximum. It was probably the shot of the evening. Even Bumrah couldn't believe that he has dispatched into the stands.## A ball's later, he got his fifty with a boundary and till, by that time, the Wankhede stadium has already witnessed one of the best T20 knocks ever. But Pant didn't stop there and took on helpless Rasikh Salam who was playing his first match, for 6, 6, 4 in the 19th over. Skipper Rohit Sharma couldn't believe what was happening out there but such was Pant's dominance that made everyone amused about his knock.## Before Indians could do anything, Pant already took his side to a massive total of 213 and later on, Capitals won the match comprehensively by 37-runs. He made 78* off just 27 balls and hit 7 fours and 7 sixes. It was a knock that made everyone fan of his aggressive style of batting.## "He is a really destructive batsman, that's the only thing I can say about him. He has matured over the years. Today, he played four dot balls early on and then just took them apart. That's where the maturity comes in. He's an amazing character to be with. Yesterday after the nets, he (Rabada) asked me 'Did you see me a bowl?' and I told him that he wasn't bowling at his full tilt. He said 'I am reserving the energy for the game", Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer said in the presentation ceremony.## Even the Mumbai Indians' skipper Rohit Sharma to felt that Rishabh Pant's knock was the difference between the two sides "We were in the game in the first 10 overs while bowling but the way Rishabh batted, we have to give the credit to him. We missed our lengths and failed to execute our plans but that can happen as there are a lot of new guys in the squad and understanding takes a bit of time".## Follow for more...

DCS - 5 Players To Watch Out For In IPL 2019

From Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals, but the question is, will the fate be change? A team that has always rely on the young players more than the stars but is not the major cause of their letdown. DC's major problem has been its inexperienced middle order that has looked vulnerable at times. Delhi's strongest part is its bowling that hasn't allowed other teams to play the shots freely and always made sure that Delhi is not chasing big totals barring odd days. ## However, Delhi Capitals has found a star in Rishabh Pant who has been the go-to man for them. But at the same time, they will need more players like him to challenge the other teams. Despite being the powerhouse of talent, Delhi has managed the bottom of the points table in the last couple of season. The owners rooped in Gautam Gambhir last year but after the halfway mark he only became a bench sitter for the rest of the tournament.## A new season and another opportunity to learn from their past mistakes also the inclusion of Shikhar Dhawan will also boost their confidence who was phenomenal for Sunrisers Hyderabad and was one of the stars in Hyderabad's title triumph in 2016. They also rooped in Colin Ingram to provide some solidity in the middle order and hence, DC is looking the stronger than ever and they will be hoping it comes good.## Here is the list of 5 players to watch out for in IPL 2019 (DC):## 1. Shikhar Dhawan (Batsman) - Shikhar Dhawan's presence will certainly boost the confidence of DC's inexperienced batting line up. Dhawan has been brilliant for Sunrisers along with David Warner up the order. His recent form for India hasn't been quite up to the mark and therefore, he will be some under pressure but at the same time deep down he knows that how important will be his form for his old come new franchise and for India as well knowing that the world cup isn't that far away.## A statical view at his IPL career## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 16 16 447 92* 0 4 136.91 Overall 143 142 4,057 95 0 32 123.50 ## 2. Prithvi Shaw (Batsman) - A star in making, Prithvi Shaw has promised a lot so far. He Won India U-19 World Cup in his captaincy and was to top scorer in the 2-match Test series against West Indies. If injury kept aside, he is will be the opener with Dhawan for Delhi Capitals for the 12th edition of Indian Premier League. He made his debut in the last year and was impressive and the ability to strike the ball makes him a player to watch out for.## A statical view at his IPL career## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 9 9 245 65 0 2 153.12 ## 3. Colin Ingram (Batsman) - Colin Ingram did play in the IPL before in 2011 for the same franchise (Delhi Daredevils) but could only play three matches. He recently played in Pakistan Super League and managed to score 344 (4th highest) in 11 matches. Earlier in the auction, Delhi Capitals grabbed him with whopping INR 6.4 crore. Ingram has the ability to score quickly and at the same time play sensibly.## A statical view at his T20 career## FormatMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R.

He was Delhi's most consistent player in 2017 season where he scored 154 runs and took 12 wickets in 9 matches. Delhi heavily depends on him to provide a finishing touch who has the ability to play big shots. He is definitely going to play a big role for his franchise this year.## A statical view at his IPL career (Batting)## YearMatchesInningsRunsH.S.10050S.R. 2018 4 4 46 27* 0 0 176.92 Overall 52 33 485 82 0 2 166.67 ## Bowling## YearMatchesInningsWicketsBBI5-WicketsEcon 2018 4 4 3 - 0 10.21 Overall 52 52 56 4/23 0 7.75 ## 5. Sandeep Lamichhane (Bowler) - A young and only player from Nepal, Sandeep Lamichhane has become the star in T20 cricket. He made his debut in the IPL last year but could play only 3 matches but was super impressive in those outings. In modern day cricket, the wrist bowlers are in demand and Lamichhane is the new addition in that demand.## A statical view at his T20 career## FormatMatchesInningsWicketsBBI5-WicketsEcon T20s 36 36 45 4/10 0 6.80 IPL 3 3 5 3/36 0 6.83 ## Follow for more...
