Controversy Surrounds Ashwin in TNPL 2025

In a recent match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025, former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin found himself at the center of a controversy during the game between Dindigul Dragons and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans. After a disappointing IPL 2025 season with Chennai Super Kings, Ashwin returned to the field, but his performance was far from memorable.

Ashwin's Dismissal Raises Eyebrows

After losing the toss to Tiruppur's captain Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Ashwin opened the innings for Dindigul but could only manage 18 runs before being dismissed in the fifth over. He was given out leg-before-wicket, a decision that Ashwin contested vehemently, believing the ball had pitched outside leg stump.

Frustration Leads to Outburst

Clearly upset with the umpire's decision, Ashwin confronted the female umpire before leaving the field in anger. His frustration was evident as he banged his pads with his bat while heading towards the pavilion.

Dindigul's Collapse Following Ashwin's Exit

Ashwin's early dismissal triggered a collapse for the Dindigul Dragons, who struggled to score and were all out for just 93 runs in 16.2 overs. Only three players managed to reach double figures, with Shivam scoring the highest at 30 runs.

Tiruppur's Dominant Performance

In response, Tiruppur made quick work of the modest target, with wicketkeeper-batter Tushar Raheja scoring an unbeaten 65, leading his team to a comfortable nine-wicket victory with nearly eight overs to spare. This win solidified Tiruppur's strong position in the ongoing TNPL season.

Ashwin's Ongoing Struggles Post-IPL 2025

Ashwin's recent performances have raised concerns. During the IPL 2025 season, where he began his career in 2009, he struggled significantly, taking only 7 wickets and scoring a mere 33 runs across 9 matches. His inconsistent form has led to speculation that Chennai Super Kings may consider releasing him ahead of the next season.
