In the KKR and Delhi Capitals game that was held on Tuesday, an unexpected heated exchange of words between R Ashwin and Eoin Morgan took the limelight. This was after R Ashwin got out in the first innings. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to the heated exchange between R Ashwin and Eoin Morgan in the IPL game between Delhi and Kolkata.
KKR get close to a playoff spot
Coming into the encounter, it was Kolkata Knight Riders who were desperate for a win. After a loss in the previous encounter, the team had almost blown up its chances of losing the playoff spot. However, owing to how the other results have gone, KKR could still have had the chance within their hands if they won against Delhi Capitals.
The two-time champions did just that on Tuesday. A disciplined bowling performance in the first innings restricted Delhi to just 127 runs in the first innings. Later, KKR got off to a decent start but were troubled by the frequent falling of wickets. However, in the end, Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine hit a few big ones to help KKR win the game by three wickets. At the moment, the team looks likely of clinching a playoff spot.
Heated exchange between R Ashwin and Eoin Morgan
In the 19th over of the first innings, R Ashwin ran a run for an overthrow. However, it became an overthrow after the ball had touched the batsman. Hence, KKR captain Eoin Morgan was unhappy with the decision taken by R Ashwin.
After Ashwin got out in the last over, it seems that Morgan and the spinner had a few words in the middle. It was Dinesh Karthik who interrupted this. Later, with the ball, Ashwin took the wicket of Morgan and celebrated. Twitter reacted to this subplot:
Thatโs why you shouldnโt mess with Ashwin ay? ๐ฅ #KKRvDC

I still don't understand how Morgan thought it would be a good idea to sledge Ashwin while being a left hander.
