Rajasthan Royals (RR) has responded to the tweet of Indian spinner R Ashwin which was posted to aware people about the importance of social distancing. But the tweet was also a dig at Rajasthan batsman Jos Buttler as he included the picture of mankading from last year. 

"Hahaha, somebody sent me this and told me it's exactly been 1 year since this run out happened. As the nation goes into lockdown, this is a good reminder to my citizens. Don't wander out. Stay inside, stay safe! #21DayLockdown," he wrote. India is in lockdown for 21 days to break the chain of Coronavirus.

Royals replied to Ashwin's post and asked how to keep a distance from memories in these 21 days. "How to keep a distance from memories during a #21daylockdown?", they posted.

Ashwin quickly cleared that he didn't mean to offend them. "Oh god.. not again..no offense," he replied. RR played along and said they are looking forward to making more memories.
