Jos Butler: Mankadding incidents

One of the most controversial incidents of the Indian Premier League 2019 was the man adding of Jos Butler by Ravichandran Ashwin during a match between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab. Jos Buttler was Mankaded by R Ashwin when he batted at 69 during the Royals’ 185-run chase.

When Jos Buttler was managed, the Royals were cruising with sure victory in sight at 108 for the loss of one wicket. But they eventually ended up on the losing side by 14 runs.

Butler’s wicket, who was in great form, turned out to be the game’s turning point. This led to a division of opinions in the cricketing fraternity, with half of it sympathizing with Butler and considering the act unethical and not in the spirit of the game.

At the same time, several sided with Ashwin stating that he was completely within his rights and it is an unfair advantage to the runner if he winds up the run while the bowl is yet to be bowled.

However, Jos Buttler was adamant that he was in Jos Buttler crease when Ashwin was expected to release the ball. He didn’t shy from portraying his disappointment. In an interview, Butler said-

“If you look at the footage, probably the wrong decision was made because at the time he was expected to release the ball I was in my crease.At the time I was really disappointed with it. I didn’t like the style of it. I just thought it was a bad precedent at the start of the tournament. For the tournament itself. It was a really disappointing way to start the tournament. So, I didn’t like what happened and I didn’t agree with it, but what can you do? After a day or so I was pretty relaxed about it and I’ll make sure it never happens again. It won’t happen again.What was more disappointing is that suddenly, over the next two games, I found myself being really conscious of it and it is quite distracting. It is so rare that you’re not normally thinking about it. I must be the only person to get out twice in that way. It distracted me for the next couple of games which is why it was nice to get some runs in the win and get back to thinking about batting and not worrying about how I back up at the non-striker’s end.”
