Ashwin Fumes in the umpire, TNPL argues on dismissal in 2025

Dindigul Dragons captain Ravichandran Ashwin was not a happy man after his dismissal against iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans and he made no efforts to hide it. After being adjudged out via a LBW, the veteran was extremely angered by the umpire’s decision. Ashwin’s side ended up being bowled out for just 93 runs in the game, allowing Sai Kishore’s side to pick up a 9-wicket win.

TNPL 2025: Ashwin unhappy with umpire’s decision

The incident occurred in the last delivery off the 5th over as ITT captain Kishore was bowling to his DGD counterpart Ashwin. The veteran batter was trapped for what looked like a LBW and the umpire did not hesitate to raise the finger. However, an unhappy Ashwin attempted to confront the umpire who decided to just turn her back on the veteran.

Replays of the delivery showed that the ball was perhaps pitching outside the leg and hence missing the stumps, justifying Ashwin’s anger. The Dindigul Dragons skipper was seen slamming the bat to his pads as he walked back to the dugout, fuming.
