Ashwin loses his cool during TNPL match [X]
Even the coolest people tend to get angry, and Ravichandran Ashwin is a great example. Things became heated during a TNPL 2024 match and Ashwin was the centre of attraction.
In a crucial TNPL encounter between Ashwin's Dindigul Dragons and Chepauk Super Gillies, a run-out incident took place between Baba Indrajith and Shivam Singh and as a result, Ashwin got furious by it.

The incident occurred during Dindigul Dragons' batting, when Indrajith punched a length ball towards the mid-off reason and Shivam Singh immediately called for a single. There was a slight hesitation, but the two batters ran for it, and the fielder there fired in a bullet throw which hit the non strikers end to dismiss Indrajith for a golden duck.
The DD batter was furious with Shivam Singh and walked out in frustration. After the incident, a video has gone viral, wherein Ashwin could be seen yelling at his batters, most probably Shivam for taking a risky single which resulted in a run-out.
Talking about the match, Chepauk Super Gillies scored 158/6, while batting first. In reply, despite losing their key player Indrajith for a duck, the other batters chipped in well and won the game by 4-wickets.
Shivam had his redemption, as he scored a crucial 49-ball 64, and was amply guided by R Ashwin, who himself slammed a quick-fire 35-ball 57.
