[WATCH] Ashwin becomes agitated following Sai Kishore’s LBW call in the TNPL 2025

Following his LBW decision in the Dindigul Dragons vs. IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 match on June 8, former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin was visibly agitated.

After arguing with the on-field umpire, Sai Kishore ejected the captain of the Dindigul Dragons. Ashwin thought the ball had pitched well outside the leg stump, which led to the argument. After scoring 18, Ashwin was seen furiously striking his pads with the bat as he made his way back to the pavilion. Due to the wide deliveries, Dindigul Dragons lost both of their reviews in the first over.

An on-air analyst stated, “Ashwin is saying ‘he has bowled this from over the stumps, ma’am,’ arguing his case that it was pitched well outside leg stump.”

Throughout their innings, the Dindigul Dragons battled and only scored 93 runs. Shivam Singh, the opener, scored the most points (30), although RK Jayant put up some effort (18). With the majority of players recording single-digit scores, the remainder of the batting lineup struggled.

In his four-over spell, A. Esakkimuthu claimed four wickets for 26 runs for IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans. Captain Sai Kishore contributed two wickets, while M. Mathivannan took three.

Opening batsman Amit Sathvik was out early for 13 as IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans chased a modest goal of 94. However, Tushar Raheja and Radhakrishnan’s strong second-wicket partnership of 75 runs in 52 balls helped to steady the score. Raheja smashed six fours and five sixes in a blistering 64 from just 39 balls to lead the chase.

With statistics of 1 for 13 in three overs, Ganesh Periyaswamy was the Dindigul Dragons’ lone wicket-taker.

Dindigul Dragons dropped to fifth place on the points table after their lacklustre performance, while IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans surged to second place after the win.
