Veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has opined that a batter should be given out leg-before wicket if he/she misses the shot while playing a reverse sweep. According to the current rules, a batter cannot be given out LBW if the ball pitches outside the leg stump, even if it is hitting him or her on the pads in line. The veteran spinner also gave an example of the recently concluded rescheduled fifth Test between England and India.
