There has been an uproar over a rule in the T20 World Cup match. In the match played between South Africa and Bangladesh on Monday, Bangladesh batsman Mahmudullah was wrongly given LBW by the on-field umpire. Mahmudullah was saved from being out when the third umpire overturned the decision, but Bangladesh could not get 4 runs from leg bye. The special thing is that Bangladesh lost this match by just 4 runs. In such a situation, if these 4 runs were added to Bangladesh's account, then perhaps they would have won.
runs don't count
Actually, there has been a controversy over this rule of cricket for a long time. If a batsman is declared LBW out by the on-field umpire, then the runs scored on that ball are not added. Even if the third umpire overturns the decision of the on-field umpire and declares the batsman not out, in such a situation the run is not counted. Even if the ball hits the bat and hits a four and it is confirmed in the ultra-edge, the run will not be counted. There has already been a lot of controversy over this controversial rule and there was a demand to change it for a long time.
Aakash Chopra expressed apprehension
During the IPL, Aakash Chopra also raised questions on this controversial rule. In fact, in the IPL match played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals, Royals batsman Rovman Powell got out in a similar way. He was out on the last ball. After this, Sunrisers Hyderabad won the match by 1 run. Former cricketer and commentator Aakash Chopra had then said that no one pays attention to this rule. Once the umpire gives out, the ball becomes dead, even if the batsman is given not out. Many fans also expressed their apprehensions about the T20 World Cup. Now this has been proved true.
