Ashwin had already taken one wicket and within the third over of his spell, which was the 13th of Trichy, he appealed for a caught-behind towards right-hander R Rajkumar. The onfield umpire Krishnamachari Srinivasan adjudged it out and Rajkumar referred it to the third umpire S Nishaanth. After watching quite a few replays, the third umpire adjudged that the ball had not touched Rajkumar’s bat and that he was not out.
At this level, Ashwin the skipper took his distinctive name. He was not pleased with Nishaanth’s determination and reviewed it once more. The third umpire watched the identical replays once more and caught to his earlier name of not out, which allowed Rajkumar to proceed. The move of occasions appeared to provide Rajkumar a little bit of a psychological edge and when Ashwin got here again to bowl his fourth over, the identical batter took the good Indian offie for 17 runs – which included two sixes and a 4.
There was some respite, although, for Ashwin when he obtained the wicket of left-hander Ganga Sridhar Raju within the final ball of his spell, this time a leg-before determination upheld by the identical third umpire Nishaanth. Ashwin completed with figures of 2-26.
