Interesting Rules Of Cricket That Most Fans Don’t Know !
Penalty In Cricket
#1 If ball touches any equipment on ground which is worn by the player of the Fielding team five runs are awarded to the batting team . It is not just Helmet.( Dhoni gloves cost 5 runs for India in champions trophy 2017)
#2 If Batsman Ran over the danger area on the pitch twice 5 runs added to the opponent score .( Ravindra jadeja done it against New Zealand)
#3 If Fielding team makes ball tampering 5 runs will be added to the Batting team ( it has happened in Recent Srilanka vs West Indies match too)
#4. A wicketkeeper is the only fielder permitted to wear gloves”, and because of the error made by Renshaw, Western Australia were awarded with 5 penalty runs.
Spirit of Cricket
#1 After Batsman has been declared out , the captain of the Fielding team can withdraw the appeal but only with the consent of the umpire( Dhoni calling Ian bell after the run-out)
#2 You cannot have more than 2 fielders behind the square on the leg side in all forms of game ( Because bowler keeps fielders on both side and keep on bowling bouncers which cause physical harm to the batsman)
#3 If ball hit the glove when his hand was not in contact with the bat it is considered as Not-out( It happened with Herath Once)
#4 If a wicket keeper stumps by collecting the ball in front of the stumps and proceed to remove the bails ,the batsman is actually Not out( Dhoni fell prey to this law once)
#5 If a fielder leaves the playing ground without informing umpire ( 5 runs will be added )
#6 If a batsman or bowler happens to be longer than 15 minutes off the field they cannot be allocated to bowl or bat for the allotted time (Chris Gayle was victim and not allowed to bat)
I certainly didn't know about these rules until now. Cricket is so popular among the Indians I might probably try playing one of these days. ⚾⚾⚾
