A video of a strange and funny incident on the cricket field is going viral on social media. The video has left fans confused about whether the batsman was out or not. It was shared on the parody Twitter account Richard Kettleborough, and people started discussing it as soon as they saw it.

What Happened on the Field?

In the video, the batsman tries to hit a slog sweep on the fast bowler’s ball. The ball hits the edge of the bat and goes into the air. The batsman starts to run, then stops and comes back to the crease. The player at the other end runs first and gets stuck in the middle of the pitch.

The fielding team throws the ball at the stumps. A fielder passes it to the bowler, who drops the bails and asks for a run out. Everyone thinks the batsman is out. But the umpire raises his hand and signals “dead ball.”

Cricket’s Funny Moment Goes Viral

The umpire’s decision surprised everyone. Some people did not understand why it was a dead ball. Many watched the video again and again. Some wrote, “Not out because bails are not down.” Others said the bowler dropped the bails with his hand, so the batsman is not out.

Some cricket experts shared ICC Law 29.1 and said the umpire was wrong. The rule says if the bowler drops the bails with the ball in his hand, it is a valid run out.
