's one misjudged throw snowballed into a comedy of errors, resulting in not one but three missed run-out opportunities on the same delivery.
The incident unfolded on the second-last ball of Madurai's innings. Batter Gurjapneet Singh drove the ball to extra cover where Ashwin was fielding. Spotting a run-out chance, Ashwin quickly fired a throw to the non-striker's end but it wasn't collected cleanly. Sensing the fumble, the batters grabbed another run.

The chaos continued as another throw from short mid-wicket towards the striker's end also went astray, allowing the pair to scamper through for a third run.
A final attempt from short third man missed its mark too, though this time the batters didn't push their luck further.
Ashwin, visibly furious, stood motionless on the field, livid not only with himself but also with his teammates for the sloppy fielding that turned a straightforward single into three runs.

This isn't Ashwin's first controversial moment this TNPL season. Earlier, in a match against I Dream Tiruppur Tamizhans, he had a heated exchange with the umpire after being given out lbw — a decision he felt was incorrect as the ball appeared to pitch outside leg.

In frustration, he struck his pad with his bat on his way back to the dugout, an act that later earned him a fine.
While the triple run-out fiasco had fans in splits online, it's clear Ashwin expects sharper cricket from his side. With the TNPL heating up, all eyes will be on the experienced campaigner to see how he channels his fiery passion in the games ahead.

'She's not the problem - we are': Sakshi Malik opens up on motherhood, marriage and her Olympic journey in first episode of 'Game On' podcast
NEW DELHI: India's first and only female Olympic medallist in wrestling, Sakshi Malik , has kicked off the first episode of Game On — a podcast series spotlighting India's unsung sporting heroes — with an emotionally rich and unfiltered conversation about her journey as an athlete, mother and wife. In a cricket-obsessed nation, Game On, hosted by Preeti Dhaiya, aims to refocus attention on India's women and youth athletes and their extraordinary lives beyond the mat, the ring or the court. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In a candid conversation, Sakshi talks about how life changed after the birth of her daughter Yoshiidaa — named after legendary Japanese wrestler Saori Yoshida — and how motherhood brought both unexpected struggles and joy. "I trained a day before my daughter was born. I thought I wouldn't face postpartum depression because I'm an athlete. But once I came home, I couldn't stop crying for 10–15 days. I didn't want the baby around. I didn't even understand what was happening," Sakshi shared. "Now she's seven months old and I feel like she's the strongest among us. She's beautiful, and though it was tough, it's equally beautiful now." Her reflections highlight how elite athletes are not immune to the emotional upheavals of parenthood. She credits her husband, fellow wrestler Satyawart Kadian, for being her anchor during this transition. "My husband reminds me that our daughter isn't creating problems — we are. We lived such regimented lives — train, eat, sleep, repeat — that this chaotic joy feels alien. But she's just being a child. It's us adjusting, not her," Sakshi admitted. Lobo Predicted It, Again: South Africa's Historic WTC Win vs Australia The podcast explores how Sakshi's relationship with Satyawart blossomed — from a Facebook friend request to wrestling together on global stages and ultimately building a life side by side. She reminisced about their parallel journeys in sport and love, both winning medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, and Satyawart's romantic proposal soon after. "We were in the same school, same city, and didn't even know it. He proposed after we both won silver in Glasgow. I told him — no boyfriends till I win the Olympics! My focus was wrestling. But he stayed. And supported me when no one else expected me to win," she recalled fondly. In a particularly stirring revelation, Sakshi shared how visualising her Olympic dream — inspired by a self-help book Satyawart gave her — became the turning point in her journey to Rio 2016. "He gave me The Secret in 2011. I wrote down my dreams and even sketched myself on the podium. Every night I'd see myself holding the tricolour. It all happened exactly as I had visualised," she said, eyes glistening. Satyawart's support, however, extends beyond wrestling. From sharing household duties to meticulously scheduling baby care duties, he's been a hands-on father. "He feeds her, warms the milk to the right temperature, and even takes over baby duty from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. so I can rest. Then I take over from 3 to 8. We even made a timetable!" she laughed. Sakshi also opened up about the inspiration behind naming her daughter Yoshiidaa — after Saori Yoshida, her wrestling idol. "There was no wrestler in my family. I started wrestling to one day sit in a plane and travel abroad. Later, I found out about Yoshida — three-time Olympic champion. I met her at the World Championship in Canada and decided, if I ever have a daughter, I'll name her Yoshida. It also means 'fragrance' in Japanese. A perfect name for a fighter and a blessing," she said. Backed by The Times of India and supported across YouTube and digital platforms, Game On is not just a podcast but a movement — a celebration of sporting grit, emotional journeys, and India's future champions. Season 1 features other inspiring athletes like Manika Batra, Mirabai Chanu , and Lovlina Borgohain . With Sakshi Malik's vulnerable and empowering story setting the tone, Game On delivers the message loud and clear: behind every medal lies a deeper story worth telling.

Kuldeep Yadav Opens Up On 'Connect With Jaddu As Spin Partner' & Missing Ashwin
Last Updated: Kuldeep Yadav said it is an honour for him to play alongside Ravindra Jadeja and learning from him, but he is missing Ashwin. India's left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav expressed that playing alongside Ravindra Jadeja is a great honour and that he has learned significantly from the veteran left-arm spinner, both on and off the field. With Ravichandran Ashwin retired from Tests, Kuldeep is expected to partner with Jadeja in the spin-bowling department. India also has off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar in their squad for the England tour, starting on June 20 in Leeds. 'Playing alongside Jadeja is such a great honour for me. Obviously, Jadeja and Ashwin have been brilliant over the last few years. When I made my Test debut in India, they helped me a lot. Even now, I have been discussing how to bowl to certain English batters, considering their current form. 'I am actually spending a lot of time with him, both on and off the field. It has helped me a lot in terms of tactics and field placement, which we have been discussing. He has given me valuable insights as well. 'He is very important to me as a spinner. I have learned a lot from him. I do miss Ash (Ashwin) bhai, but I was fortunate to have him in my team. When I started playing cricket with Jaddu bhai, we played together. I connect with Jaddu bhai as a spin partner, which I enjoy a lot," said Kuldeep to reporters on the sidelines of day three of an intra-squad practice game in Beckenham. Kuldeep played just one Test in England back in 2018 at Lord's, where he conceded 44 runs in nine overs and registered a pair. But this time, with significant improvements in speed, length, and bowling mindset, Kuldeep is well-prepared to trouble the English batters. 'Excitement is always there when you play abroad as a spinner. It is important to know what mindset you are going with. I have always had an attacking mindset and keep that in mind. I hope the wickets are good. 'Looking at the conditions, there has been a lot of sunshine in the last few days. If the wickets are good, the spinners can get help. I don't worry much about the conditions, but if you get a helpful wicket, it feels good to bowl," he added. When asked about how the wickets have behaved for spinners so far at Beckenham, Kuldeep revealed, 'In terms of spinners, the wickets are looking good. The practice match wicket was good for batting. On the first day, there was a little moisture, so seamers got a little help. But as the game progressed, I felt that the ball was bouncing more for spinners. 'On the first day, I didn't see much turn in my first spell. But today is day three, and if I put the ball in the right areas, we will know how the wicket behaves. From all the practice sessions, the ball is turning a bit. I am sure it will be better in the game if we have such practice matches." Kuldeep concluded by saying that the bowlers are working hard in practice to get used to the workload of bowling in Tests. 'The volume of bowling overs is very important. We have played T20 cricket for the last 4-5 months. Now we are preparing for the Test format, and the volume is crucial. 'All bowlers are instructed to bowl as many overs as possible. Fast bowlers are told to bowl at least 15-20 overs to complete our build-up for the Test match. The same goes for spinners – the more we bowl, the better it is." (With inputs from IANS)
