IPL 2021: R Ashwin Says Spat With Eoin Morgan "Definitely Not A Personal Battle"

​By a staff reporter: Senior Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has sought to end the controversy surrounding his on-field showdown with England skipper Eoin Morgan over an extra run during an IPL match, saying it was not a personal battle but a difference of opinion on how the game should be played. During last week's IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, which is captained by Morgan,Ashwin tried to take a run after a throw ricocheted off his batting partner Rishabh Pant's body. Morgan and Ashwin then had an altercation with the England white-ball skipper calling the Indian a "disgrace" and accusing him of not adhering to the ''Spirit of Cricket'' despite the fact that MCC rules allow scoring of runs after rebound from a batsman's body.
