With the ‘Mankading’ controversy in the Indian Premier League match triggering a debate in the cricket world, IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla said that it had been decided in one of the meetings under Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli and Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni’s presence that the non-striking batsman will not be run out as a courtesy in such cases.

During the match between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday, Ravichandran Ashwin kicked up a storm after running out Jos Buttler at the non-striker’s end on his delivery stride.

“If I remember in one of the meetings of captains & match referee where I was also present as chairman it had been decided that if non striking batsman steps out bowler as a courtesy will not run him out @IPL @BCCI,” Shukla tweeted.
