Strange things happen in cricket, and the IND vs AFG 3rd ODI in Chennai, witnessed one. It was during the 40th over of the visitors’ innings, that they were penalised 5 runs from their already puny score. But then, no sympathies towards the skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi, who was the main culprit in the entire incident. The 31-year-old, who scored his maiden ton in the encounter, was warned multiple times by the umpires, for running in the danger area.
Ever since he walked into the middle, coming into bat at no. 4, he involuntarily found himself running into the centre of the pitch, that would eventually help his side, in their turn of bowling. He was warned a couple of times, but the umpires had had enough. Finally, on the last delivery of the 40th over by Washington Sundar, the umpires swung into action. Not only was he reprimanded for his actions the very moment he was running the single, but India were awarded five runs.
In fact, the run that Hashmat-Rashid Khan completed, was nullified in the next over. While even the commentators were confused, as to why Rashid Khan took strike against Harsh Dubey, in the next over… soon things were clarified.
