Shane Warne has been on a ranting spree ever since Kings XI Punjab skipper, R Ashwin mankaded Rajasthan Royals player Jos Buttler in yesterday’s encounter, which took place at Jaipur during IPL. Punjab went on to win the game against Rajasthan by 14 runs. At one stage, it seemed as if Buttler will run away with the game but he got run-out at 69 and after that, the hosts suffered a collapse and ended up losing the game.
Rajasthan Royals’ brand ambassador, Shane Warne not only slammed Ashwin but also attacked popular TV commentator, Harsha Bhogle.
Harsha you are missing the point completely & I’m disappointed in you as you always push the spirit of the game – now you condone this behaviour ? Ashwin’s actions were simply disgraceful, and I hope the BCCI doesn’t condone this sort of behaviour in the #IPL ! #spiritofthegame https://t.co/BsIKDBN51X

Harsha, if that had of been an international player you would have nailed him ! Please do not be bias & stick up for your own. Any player in the game that does that to anyone is an embarrassment to the game & as captain it’s even more disgraceful ! #spiritofthegame ! https://t.co/4PqLL1MzBT

Harsha Bhogle did respond to Warne.
Ah Warney, nothing to do with being Indian or otherwise. Have held this view for years, whether in a Ranji Trophy game or an U19 World Cup with the West Indies. The “spirit” of our game can be interpreted many ways but the laws we play by are always the same for everyone. Cheers.
