At the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), on Sunday, during India’s Men in Blue’s opening match against Pakistan, Ravichandran Ashwin was criticized for trying to take a catch by “cheating.”

Ashwin dove toward fine leg to secure the catch as the umpire gave Shan Masood the soft indication to be out. The top-order batter persisted nevertheless as he awaited the third umpire’s review of the ruling.

Ashwin took the catch, the ball had actually bounced, which angered the crowd.
