Ashwin hails Harshal Patel for non-striker run-out attempt: 'Happy that a bowler had the courage to do it'

New Delhi: Ravichandran Ashwin, who has long been a supporter of running out the non-striker for backing up too far, has praised Royal Challengers Bangalore bowler Harshal Patel for trying to run out Ravi Bishnoi in the game against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2023. With LSG needing one to win from the last ball, Harshal tried to run out Bishnoi at the non-striker end as the batter had taken an early start but the pacer fumbled and failed in his attempt. Ashwin, however, was happy to see Harshal showing “courage” at a crucial time in the game. Coming to the RCB vs LSG game, after Harshal failed to run out Bishnoi, Lucknow grabbed a bye run on the last ball to win the match by one wicket.
