Didn't watch the match, checked the scorecard after the match on cricbuzz and I saw that Buttler had been runout by Ashwin. My first reaction was how on earth did Buttler manage to get runout by Ashwin.
Then I open twitter and Ashwin is getting crucified from all corners including Indian fans. There's been an epic meltdown on social media especially among English pundits. You like the mankad or hate it, but you gotta love the entertainment that comes with it everytime it happens lol.
My opinion is that I didn't like it and it could have been avoided. I think the 2 or so seconds that Ashwin waited before taking off the bails made it look so much more worse, don't think he would've got as much stick had he removed the bails without that wait time. It looked like a con job than an actual mankad which is probably why it left a bitter taste in many people's mouths.
