“As you can see, there are few arguments against it. As with anything else in the world, when certain events occur, there will be people with contradictory opinions. Whether you want to do it or not is completely acceptable,” Ashwin said.
Ravichandran Ashwin is followed everywhere he goes. Wherever he goes, the subject of whether or not the non-striker should be run out, if they have moved too far outside the crease before the ball is bowled follows them.

During an Indian Premier League match, the off-spinner once dismissed Jos Buttler by bowling to him in this fashion, and he did not show any remorse for his conduct. As the knockout stage of the Twenty20 World Cup approaches, Ashwin has stated that he will not feel embarrassed to use the method of dismissal should it become necessary throughout the competition. For him, it’s simply another way a batter can get out, and he, just like any other player who is batting, doesn’t like to get out. He thinks of it as just another method a batter can get out.
“If I’m being completely honest, I also wouldn’t like to get out in that manner just because I don’t like it, even if it’s not as if I can’t get out in that manner. So, nobody loves getting out. I dislike getting eliminated in any fashion, whether it is by being nicked off, bowled, or run out, he said. Ashwin remarked in one breath, “I also wouldn’t like to get run out at the non-end striker’s since it’s a form of dismissal, and it’s very legal.”
Current changes in laws–
As a result of recent changes made to the Cricket Laws, the dismissal of the non-striker for backing up too far has been added as a run-out. Also, it is now the responsibility of the batter to remain inside the crease, until the bowler has released the ball from their grasp. Earlier, this kind of situation was covered in the chapter that was all about “Unfair Play.”
“As you can see, there aren’t very many debates surrounding it. When certain events take place, just like with anything else that takes place in this world, you may expect to find people with contrasting points of view. “It doesn’t matter at all whether you want to do it or not; either way is completely OK,” the off-spinner remarked.
Experts not in favor of this runout-
There have been several current and former cricketers, including Buttler himself, who has criticized the manner of dismissal. They admit that they wouldn’t want to get an opposing batsman in this way if they could help it. Buttler is now the captain of the England white-ball team.
But Ashwin made a snide remark to the effect that if the rival team is not attempting to eliminate him in this manner, then he might as well utilize it to his benefit. It’s good to know that they won’t do it because you can run at the last minute or wait. It works. I mean, if people come out and say they won’t do it, I’ll use that to my advantage as a cricket player.
