#1 Ashwin Mankads Jos Butler
This was certainly one of the most controversial moments of the season so far. After losing the toss and being put in to bat first, KXIP scored 184/4 in 20 overs thanks to stellar performances by Chris Gayle and Sarfaraz Khan.
Rajasthan Royals came out to bat. Butler, who opened the innings looked in sublime form. He was hammering the bowlers to all parts of the ground and quickly reached his fifty. The Royals were comfortably cruising to a victory.
The match was slipping away from Kings XI Punjab’s hands and Ashwin had to do something. So, what did he do?
He decided to run out Jos Buttler by Mankading him. Ashwin took his runup and instead of bowling the ball, he turned around and ran out Buttler, who was backing up too far. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether this incident was within the spirit of the game, but it was the biggest game changer of the season so far and turned the game on its head. Rajasthan Royals lost the match by 14 runs in the end.
