India offie Ravichandran Ashwin on Sunday said that the wickets ought to be credited to bowlers when they run out batters at the non-striker’s end for backing up too far, as it requires “presence of mind.” Going by the ICC manual, India all-rounder Deepti Sharma’s run out of Charlie Dean in the third ODI was perfectly legal, but England cricketers Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Sam Billings expressed their annoyance.

Responding to a tweet by Billings, who asked Anderson, “Imagine how many more wickets you could get James,” Ashwin wrote on Twitter: “In fact that’s a great idea. How about awarding that wicket to the bowler for “presence of mind” under immense pressure and of course knowing the social stigma that he/she would have to deal with post doing it. How about a bravery award to go with it too.”
