New Delhi: Indian women's cricket team all-rounder Deepti Sharma is in the limelight after becoming the first woman cricketer to run out an England batsman on non-strike. Deepti Sharma dropped the stumps at the non-striker's end when Charlie Dean was out of the crease at Lord's on Saturday and thus was the first instance of women's ODI cricket, in which a batsman was hit at the non-striker end in this manner. given out. However, different reactions are coming out on this matter, in which the name of Sri Lankan great spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has also been included.
Indian spinner R Ashwin, who had similarly run out England batsman Jos Buttler in IPL, has praised Deepti Sharma's presence of mind, saying the bowler should be given credit for the wicket and given the Bravery Award. He may have said this jokingly, as bowlers are never given credit for run out wickets, but Ashvin's comment on Deepti Sharma Mankading is not liked by the world's highest wicket-taker, Muttiah Muralitharan.
Muralitharan has said on this matter, 'Is there a presence of mind? No cricketer can play an international match if he does not have a presence of mind. I would have appreciated Deepti (Sharma) if she had warned the non-striker earlier. It would have been in the true spirit of the game then.' Let us inform you that Deepti Sharma herself has said in her statement that she had earlier warned Charlie Dean and the umpire regarding this. Charlie had left the crease early, not once or twice.
Murali has further said that 'Yes, legally, Deepti Sharma was right to run out a non-striker and it is also in law, but not in the spirit of the game. A white ball match is a pressure match and in a difficult situation the non-striker can leave the crease early if the action is repeated by the non-striker, in my opinion, a run-out is correct, otherwise not.' Even the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the rule-making body for the ICC, has justified this.
