In the first T20 match against Sri Lanka, the batsmen of India and Sri Lanka batted brilliantly. There were rapid shots from both sides. But an incident was seen in this match which caught the attention of the fans. Actually, when the Sri Lankan team was chasing the target, the umpires reduced one run. Sri Lanka had to get 6 runs on one ball but the umpires reduced it by one run to five runs. Let us tell you what the matter is?

Sri Lanka have been docked one run!

Hardik Pandya was bowling in the 12th over. On his first ball, Pathum Nissanka played a shot on square leg.

During this, he ran for two runs. But Rinku Singh hit the ball directly on the stumps from there and it hit him and went for four runs. The umpires gave 6 runs to Sri Lanka because Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera ran two runs and after that four runs were given for over throw. But after this, Team India captain Suryakumar Yadav along with Hardik Pandya complained to the umpires. After the complaint of the Indian captain, the umpires sought help from the third umpire in this matter. The third umpire checked the replay and reduced one run of Sri Lanka. Let us tell you why this happened?

One run was deducted due to this rule

Sri Lanka's one run was deducted because according to the rule, 6 runs are awarded on a four in an over throw only when both batsmen have crossed the half crease before the fielder throws the ball. When the third umpire checked this in the Pallekele T20, he found that at the time of Rinku's throw, both batsmen were away from the half crease and that is why Sri Lanka got only five runs. Very few people know this rule of cricket but Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya knew about this rule. That is why Team India got the benefit.
