Ravichandran Ashwin was the first cricketer in the IPL to run out a non-striker (Jos Buttler) for backing up too far while he was into his delivery stride during the 2019 edition. Ashwin was again associated with an unusual occurrence—on Sunday—at the Wankhede Stadium.

The Rajasthan Royals offie became the first IPL player to ‘retire out’ against Lucknow Super Giants. Two balls into the final over, Ashwin headed to the dugout and let Riyan Parag, the regular No.6 batsman, have a go.
