TABLE OF IPL POINTS | ACCESSORIES
In the Delhi match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday, Ashwin warned starting hitter Aaron Finch for leaving his crease on the non-forward end after stopping in his follow-up to throw the ball.
“Let’s make it clear! First and last warning for 2020. I’ll make it official and don’t blame me later. @RickyPonting #runout #nonstriker @ AaronFinch5 and I are good friends by the way. # IPL2020,” Ashwin tweeted after the match.

Delhi defeated RCB by 59 runs at Dubai International Stadium to go to the top of the points table ( SCOREKEEPER).
The incident occurred in the third part of the RCB entries. Finch had backed off at the end of the non-forward as Ashwin was about to throw a ball before stopping in his pursuit, but did not drive the Australian out and allowed him to return to his area.
The incident also left Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting divided.

Before the start of IPL 2020Ponting had spoken to Ashwin about ‘Mankading’ and the former Australian captain had told roulette not to opt for this mode of dismissal.
‘Mankading’ drew a lot of attention during last year’s IPL when Ashwin fired Jos Buttler from the Rajasthan Royals. Many former cricketers were divided as to whether the firing mode is in the spirit of the game or not.
