A vocal supporter of running the batter out at non-striker's end, veteran India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin was recently on the receiving end of a warning for backing up too far.
The incident happened during a Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) match between his team, Dindigul Dragons, and Nellai Royal Kings.
In the 15th over, left-arm spinner Mohan Prasath stopped midway through his run-up after noticing that Ashwin was out of his crease.
The replays showed that while Ashwin was walking down the crease prematurely, his bat slid out of the popping crease when Prasath stopped mid-way into his run-up.
