R Ashwin takes a cheeky dig at Sam Billings over controversial run-out by Deepti Sharma: Award wicket to bowler

Ravichandran Ashwin took a cheeky dig at Sam Billings over the controversial run-out by Deepti Sharma. Deepti ran out Charlie Dean in the 3rd ODI between India and England women's teams at Lord's.

India offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin took a cheeky dig at England wicketkeeper-batter Sam Billings over his comments on the controversial run-out by Deepti Sharma.

Deepti Sharma pulled off a controversial run-out to dismiss Charlie Dean in the third and final ODI between India and England women's teams on Saturday, September 24 at Lord's. The wicket helped India complete a 3-0 clean sweep over England in the series and gave veteran fast bowler Jhulan Goswami a fitting farewell.

When Sam Billings took to Twitter to ask teammate Jimmy Anderson how many more wickets he could get, Ashwin stepped in and wrote: "In fact that’s a great idea. How about awarding that wicket to the bowler for “ presence of mind” under immense pressure and of course knowing the social stigma that he/she would have to deal with post doing it. How about a bravery award to go with it too ICC?

In fact that’s a great idea. How about awarding that wicket to the bowler for “ presence of mind” under immense pressure and of course knowing the social stigma that he/she would have to deal with post doing it. How about a bravery award to go with it too @ICC ? https://t.co/9PqqetnnGw

Billings was earlier schooled by fellow England cricketer Alex Hales over the controversial run-out at non-striker's end.
