While speaking about the incident during the presentation ceremony, Ashwin said, “It’s pretty instinctive. I actually didn't load and he left the crease. That's always been my take on it because it's my half of the crease. I was not even at the crease, he wasn't even looking at me and he just left the place. We ended on the right side of the coin.” Tomorrow, in the IPL 2019, we will have a clash between Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings in Delhi.
