“If Pant (knowing the throw hit him) turned his back on Ashwin who looking for the second had to retreat causing a run-out would Morgan have called him back? Unwritten rules should be scraped, play to the laws. #IPL2021.”

“I consider Dinesh Karthik the biggest culprit in all this. If he had not talked about what Morgan said, there would have been no such uproar. If he had said, “It was nothing much, just an argument, it happens in the game, move on,” then it would have come out in that sense only. What was the need for an explanation that someone thinks this or that?,” Sehwag said.
