An interesting moment from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Delhi Capitals (DC) game went viral on social media when R Ashwin and Eoin Morgan were involved in a heated exchange. The incident took place after Tim Southee had dismissed Ashwin in the first ball of the final over of DC's innings.

Ashwin was dismissed after attempting a pull shot as Nitish Rana completed the dismissal with a catch at backward square. As Ashwin was walking back, he had an exchange of words with both KKR captain Morgan and Tim Southee.
