Ravichandran Ashwin joins Jos Buttler on Rajasthan Royal’s dugout and Internet can’t stop laughing
Chandigarh, February 13
The reunion of Ravichandran Ashwin and Jos Buttler in Rajasthan Royals has unleashed a meme fest.
RR purchased Ashwin on Day 1 of the Indian Premier League auction in a development two years after the infamous Mankad controversy in the IPL. In 2019, Ashwin, who was then in Kings XI Punjab Mankad Buttler, who was playing RR, when the latter went out of his crease. The term Mankad comes from cricketer Vinoo Mankad, who was notorious for running out a batsman for “backing up” at the non-striker’s end.
The 2019 debate centred on whether Ashwin’s action was in the spirit of the game.
Both Buttler and Ashwin posted videos saying they were looking forward to being on the same team, but social media can’t stop posting memes and videos of how awkward that dressing room might get.

Hooda and Krunal in one team. Ashwin and Buttler in one team. This year’s IPL can even get Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi to become friends.
