Star India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said it’s surprising to see so many “taboos” regarding the run-out at the non-striker’s end and asked why bowlers are always subjected to different “treatments”. Veteran India pacer Mohammed Shami had tried to run out Dasun Shanaka at non-striker’s end when the batter left the crease while backing up during the opening ODI in Guwahati on January 10.
However, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma intervened and withdrew the appeal by Shami as Shanaka, then on 98, went on to complete his century. Ashwin, who is a vocal supporter of the form of dismissal, on Saturday backed Shami, saying it’s the umpire duty to declare the batter out.
