CRICKET
Rajasthan Royals purchased R Ashwin for Rs 5 crore at the IPL 2022 mega auction.
Just three years ago, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jos Buttler who were part of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) were involved in the most controversial situation in 2019. Cut to in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Rajasthan had already retained Buttler, and now in the mega auction, they purchased Ashwin for Rs 5 crore.
Recalling the famous 'Mankad' incident, the England batsman was run out for 69 on March 25, 2019, by then Punjab skipper Ashwin as he backed up. The method of dismissal, named after former India player Vinoo Mankad, is legal but was not seen by many as in the light of sportsman sprite.

However, with both players now in the same camp, fans have taken to Twitter to believe that the two will be planning dismissals together.
