India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was at the receiving end of online flak yesterday for saying in an interview that the return of his former IPL team Chennai Super Kings will increase its value just like Manchester United when eight players of the English football club died in an air crash in Munich, 1958. "I think the two-year hiatus for CSK probably increases its value much like what it did for Manchester United when the air crash happened. I don't know if it's in the same league but surely people in Chennai and fans across the world are waiting for CSK to return. I hope it turns out to be a good comeback," Ashwin told Cricbuzz. Ashwin, who left for his Sri Lanka tour yesterday, got defensive: "Guys please take the reporting with a pinch of salt with respect to the Munich tragedy and CSK," he posted.
In another tweet, he wrote: "Now all those who hate me, please get off my mentions, we will catch-up sometime later when I get misquoted again. Thanks."
