Melbourne, Oct 23: Indian veteran Ravichandran Ashwin has been accused of an unsportsmanlike act after trying to claim a catch that hit the ground against Pakistan, Fox Cricket reported.
After a strong start India looked to have claimed another wicket when Shan Masood top-edged a pull shot off the bowling of Mohammed Shami and it flew to fine leg.
Ashwin had a slow reaction and just failed to get to the ball on time as it hit the ground just before his hands got under it.
However he rose to his feet claiming the catch and it had to be checked by the third umpire.
It was clearly seen on the replay the ball had hit the MCG turf.
Ashwin was heavily criticised for the act on social media given the heated nature of this rivalry.
He has previously been criticised for Mankad incidents.
