Ravichandran Ashwin called cheat for claiming dropped catch: Watch (The Bridge)

Ravichandran Ashwin drew ire on social media after claiming a catch in India's T20 World Cup match against Pakistan.

Slow motion replays indicated that Ashwin had been slow to react and then had dropped the catch. Masood's 52* was the highest score in the innings. Fielding at fine leg, Ashwin seemed to have caused Pakistan's third wicket to fall as he ran in to take Shan Masood's catch off Mohammed Shami's bowling in the 8th over.

Among the Pakistan batters, Iftikar Ahmed and Shan Masood scored a half-century. The replays confirmed that the ball had hit the turf before settling in Ashwin's hands as Pakistan got a lucky reprieve, especially after losing Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan inside the powerplay overs. The trolls were not limited to this as many also compared it with Ashwin's ‘mankad’ dismissal against Jos Buttler during the Indian Premier League. He did manage to send the ball in the desired direction, which landed right in front of Ashwin and it looked like the spinner completed a brilliant diving catch.

T20 World Cup cricket: Ravichandran Ashwin goes from 'cheat' to ... (7NEWS.com.au)

'If cricket was science, Ashwin would be Einstein', after pulling off one of the gutsiest moves ever seen on a cricket field.

But Sharma recalled Mohammed Shami to the attack in the following over and the veteran quick dismissed Ahmed for 51 to have Pakistan 3-91. Rauf, who plays for the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, used his MCG experience to his advantage to power Pakistan into a position of dominance. Kohli and Hardik Pandya put on a 113-run partnership before the latter was dismissed on the first ball of the last over. Nawaz was controversially called for a no-ball off the fourth delivery of the over from a full toss, which Kohli smashed for six, leaving Babar pleading his case to the umpires. But Nawaz misfired by the barest of margins, sending the ball down the leg side, and Ashwin had the presence of mind to leave the ball alone. Pakistani spinner Mohammed Nawaz was trusted with bowling the last over of the match, and tried to fire in an arm ball at Ashwin’s pads to strangle the right-hander and restrict him from freeing his arms.
