The word warning is applicable only if the non striker gains undue advantage by leaving the crease. I don’t think the warning is applicable to @ashwinravi99 in this case. https://t.co/6q08QaP7Aj— Prasanna (@prasannalara) July 28, 2024
Echoing a similar thought, another person replied, “Exactly. Why are the commentators not pointing out the fact that he was in at the time of the delivery stride and that it would have been a Not out?”

Ravichandran Ashwin responded to the post and commented, “Cos they don’t know the rule.” He also shared a screenshot of the MCC law about run-outs at the non-striker’s end.

Law 8.3 of the rules, related to the non-striker leaving the crease early, state “At any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be run out if he/she is out of his/her ground.”
Earlier in 2019, Ravichandran Ashwin had triggered a debate having dismissed Jos Buttler in a similar fashion during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match. Seven years before that incident, Sri Lanka’s Lahiru Thirimanne fell victim to Ashwin after backing up at the non-striker’s end during an ODI match.

The batter, however, survived after the then-Indian captain Virender Sehwag decided to withdraw the run-out appeal. In 2022, the MCC modified the rule of such a dismissal, changing the act from Law 41 (Unfair Play) to Law 38 (Run Out).
