However, the all-rounder did his job well and scored 28 off 23 balls. But suddenly, he was seen walking off which allowed Riyan Parag to join Shimron Hetmyer in the middle. Parag ended up scoring eight off four balls while Hetmyer struck 59 off 36 as RR finished on 165 for 6.
"I literally have no idea about that retire-out decision from Ashwin! It was a good decision in the end," Hetmyer told Star Sports during the innings break.
So what is retired out?
As per ICC's rules, a batter can get himself retired out in T20 cricket, but he will have to inform the umpire about the same.
According to MCC Law 25.4.3, "if a batter retires for any reason other than as in 25.4.2 (retires because of illness, injury or any other unavoidable cause), the innings of that batter may be resumed only with the consent of the opposing captain. If for any reason his/her innings is not resumed, that batter is to be recorded as 'Retired - out'."
Ashwin retired out is fascinating T20 tactics. T20 is causing us to rethink the way we conceive the game of in the 21st century
