Kanpur Test: R Ashwin argues with umpire Nitin Menon after running across him during followthrough on Day 3

India vs New Zealand: Menon was not impressed with R Ashwin's tactic on Day 3 as the off-spinner seemingly blocked the umpire's view while running across him during his follow-through in Kanpur.

R Ashwin was the centre of attention on Day 3 of the 1st Test between India and New New Zealand in Kanpur as he was involved in an intense argument with on-field umpire Nitin Menon. Ashwin adopted a new bowling run-up as he ran across the umpire in his follow-through in the morning session on Saturday at Green Park.

The umpire's contention could be that his view will be blocked with @ashwinravi99 running across him in his follow through. Of course, with Ash staying within the danger area, the warning cannot be issued. Trust Ash to create a conundrum even for umpires.. #INDvsNZ

Nitin Menon, one of the reputed umpires going around, had an issue with the follow-through as he seemingly felt that Ashwin's follow-through blocked his view. Menon interrupted Ashwin's over multiple times and had a chat with the senior off-spinner.
