R Ashwin was involved in a heated on-field exchange with umpire Nitin Menon during Day 3 before Lunch

The on-field umpire had issues with Ashwin's follow-through while bowling as the spinner was running across the line of sight for the umpire and blocking his view.

The discussions between Ashwin, Rahane and umpire Menon went on for the next few overs before Ashwin relented and corrected his follow-through.

While R Ashwin did not run on the danger area with his new follow-through, he was certainly distracting the umpire.

The umpiring in the Kanpur Test has been subjected to huge criticism. Quite often, the officials' decisions were reversed via DRS over the first two days of play.
