Today’s “Word of the Day” is ricochet and it is a verb meaning “(of a ball, bullet or other objects.) to bounce off a surface; rebound, bounce back, be deflected”.
Example Sentence: An angry Ravichandran Ashwin asked Eoin Morgan and Tim Southee to not use “derogatory” words and lecture him on ‘Spirit of Cricket’ by taking a moral high ground after their on-field bust-up over an extra run during an IPL game. He then told Morgan and Southee that ‘Spirit of Cricket’ can’t be different strokes for different folks. During Tuesday’s IPL match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, Ashwin tried to take a run after a throw from the deep by Rahul Tripathi had ricocheted off his partner Rishabh Pant’s body.
