After India beat England to clean sweep the three-match ODI series, Ravichandran Ashwin started to trend on Twitter. The reason being the Mankad style run out which was affected by Deepti Sharma. The incident happened in the dying stages of the game with England needing just 17 runs. That was when she ran out Charlotte Dean in a controversial manner which polarised the social media with some trending Ashwin and Buttler.
Back in 2019, Ashwin had mankaded Jos Buttler which has been used quiet often to define the off spinner. Nonetheless, the India star came out and tweeted in Sharma’s support, asking why are fans trending him on Twitter.
“Why the hell are you trending Ashwin? Tonight is about another bowling hero Deepti Sharma," he tweeted.

All-rounder Deepti Sharma top-scored for the visitors with an unbeaten 68 off 106 balls, while opener Smriti Mandhana was the second highest scorer, making exactly 50 runs in 79 deliveries.
Among England bowlers, medium pacer Kate Cross returned with excellent figures of 4/26, while there were two wickets apiece for Freya Kemp and Sophie Ecclestone.
