First crime, then debate… After Ravindra Jadeja, India got a penalty of 5 runs due to this mistake of Ashwin

Although the first innings of the Indian cricket team in the Rajkot Test was not over, but even before that, England’s account has been opened in the first innings. Yes, you will not believe it, but it is completely true. This happened because Ravindra Jadeja on the first day and Ravichandran Ashwin made a mistake on the second day and after that the umpire gifted 5 runs to the opposition team. In this way, when England comes to bat in the first innings, its score will start with 5 runs without a wicket.

Actually, Ravindra Jadeja was given a warning for running in the middle of the pitch on the first day. On the second day of the match, Ravichandran Ashwin was caught running in the middle of the pitch after the third ball of the 102nd over. On this, umpire Joel Wilson gave him a warning and he was seen talking something. After this he started preparing for the next ball of Rehan Ahmed. Meanwhile, the umpire indicated a 5 run penalty.

According to ICC rules, the umpire has the right to give a warning first if the players behave like this. But when this happens for the second time, he can impose a penalty of 5 runs on the concerned team. The same happened at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Let us tell you that on the first day the Indian team had scored 326 runs for 5 wickets. Captain Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja scored centuries, while debut star Sarfaraz Khan scored a half century.

It is noteworthy that a similar incident was also seen in the Test between Australia and New Zealand. Marnus Labuschagne got the first warning in the match, while after this David Warner also repeated the same mistake. After this the field umpire took action and imposed a penalty of 5 runs. This match was played in 2020.
