News India Live, Digital Desk: We all know that cricket is called a ‘gentleman’s game’, but Bangladesh’s superstar Shakib Al Hasan Often stay away from these bookish things. Be it fighting with the umpire on the field or uprooting the stumps, Shakib always remains in the headlines. But this time, after hearing what he has said, even the best cricket pundits are left in shock.
Yes, Shakib has openly admitted that not once or twice in his career, but Deliberate Illegal Bowling Action Was used.
“Yes, I ‘threw’ those balls…”
Shakib has confessed to doing what we call ‘butta ball’ or ‘chukking’ in common language. He told without any hesitation in an interview how he bowled the balls by bending his elbow more than the rules.
Sharing an incident, he said, “I did this deliberately. I wanted to see how much help I could get. To be honest, I got tremendous turn on that one ball.” This incident is probably from BPL or some international match.
Why didn’t Shakib feel scared?
The most surprising thing is that how can an international player dare to do this? Shakib’s answer to this was even more surprising. He believed that the umpires could not judge a player of his stature so easily. No Ball Will not give.
He told, “I knew that the umpire would not call me. Even if I bowled one or two balls like this, he would ignore it.” That is, they took full advantage of the system’s shortcomings.
What is the 15 degree rule?
For your information, let us tell you that according to ICC rules, the bowler should not touch his elbow. 15 degrees Cannot bend more than. If it turns more than this, it is considered ‘illegal action’. But Shakib admitted that he had bent his elbow more than this just to check how much the ball would spin.
Fearlessness or overconfidence?
This statement of Shakib has sparked debate. Some fans are calling it his honesty that at least he told the truth, while some people are considering it against the spirit of the game. But one thing is certain, there is no one else like Shakib Al Hasan. He knows how to stay in the headlines, be it with the bat or through his statements.
Now the question is, will ICC or the umpires reopen the old files after this revelation? Maybe not, but fans have definitely found the torch!
