Watch: Ravichandran Ashwin’s ‘Uno Reverse card’ manoeuvre during the TNPL 2023 stuns the cricket community with two reviews in one ball

Yes, during the Coimbatore game between Dindigul Dragons and Ba11sy Trichy in the TNPL 2023, R Ashwin reviewed a review.

Veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, known for his street-smart exploits in the game’s shortest format, made news on Wednesday during the action-packed edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) with his outrageous decision-making. Ashwin, who was judged unnecessary in the ICC World Test Championship championship match against Australia, made a comeback to competitive cricket by leading Dindigul Dragons in Tamil Nadu’s top division.

The third umpire was certain that UltraEdge had a spike on it before the ball struck the willow. The Ba11sy Trichy star was thus not released. A short while after Rajkumar changed his mind, Ashwin chose to revisit the DRS ruling about the identical delivery. Before Rajkumar was declared not out for a second time by the TV umpire, the on-field umpires went through the same procedure. The odd incident quickly gained widespread attention online.

The seasoned Indian all-rounder spoke candidly about the puzzling event in TNPL 2023 after the game. “I felt [it was out] when I was staring at the big screen.” DRS is a brand-new regulation in this contest. Even when there is an edge, the spike [on UltraEdge] typically moves in front of the bat. And to overturn the on field call, there has to be conclusive evidence. That they overturned it, I was slightly not happy. So, I reviewed it, hoping they [umpires] might look at it from a different angle,” Ashwin said at the post-match presentation.
