00:00In the 4th T20i between India and Australia, Shubhman Gill and India were robbed of a run because of a very very controversial dead ball rule in cricket.
00:08In this video, I will tell you all the details about the dead ball rule.
00:13So what happened in the 14th over was, off the bowling of Marcus Tornis, Shubhman Gill tried to flick the ball towards the short mid wicket region and he was adjudged out by the on-field umpire.
00:22Now, upon reviewing, Shubhman Gill found out that there was an inside edge and India were not only robbed of a run, but Shubhman Gill could not get that particular run and that over.
00:31Now, why did this happen? Because as per the rules of ICC, you know, whenever the umpire raises the finger, no matter what happens on that particular delivery, the ball is going to be a dead ball.
00:41Now, tell you, if there was an inside edge and India completed the run, Shubhman Gill had completed the run, then why were India denied of that single?
00:48Now, this is not the only instance of this dead ball rule, you know, hampering the spirit of the game on that particular delivery.
00:54If you remember, in the Super Bowl game between India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup, what had happened was, you know, Dasan Shanaka was given not out despite him being run out because the umpire had raised the finger upon India's appeal for an LPW.
01:07The same thing was in South Africa versus, you know, Bangladesh game in New York in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
01:14You know, that's a close encounter and if India or any other team is denied a wicked or denied a single, it can have a result, it can have an impact on the particular result as well.
01:25You can tell your views in the comments section, but we feel that, okay, there needs to be a change in this particular dead ball rule and the rule should be awarded in favour of the team where the review happens.
01:36You know, if it's a not out, then of course, the bowling side would definitely need to be benefited in case there's a run out and in case there's a run and, you know, the batting side gets that particular, you know, not out decision, then the run should go in favour of the batting side.
