There was an uproar over giving 7 runs on 1 ball in PSL, know the reason

Currently Pakistan Super League is going on and on Thursday a match was played between Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultan. In this match, Multan Sultans under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan defeated Peshawar Zalmi under the captaincy of Babar Azam and entered the final. Multan team will now compete in the final match to be held on March 18. Apart from Multan's victory in this match, an incident also happened which made a lot of headlines. This was seen in the first innings when Babar Azam's team Peshawar Zalmi was batting. Something happened in the 11th over of this inning that created an uproar. In this over the team got 7 runs on one ball. The umpire gave a penalty after the ball hit the gloves.

The ball hit the gloves and 5 runs were scored.

In the 11th over of the innings, the ball was in the hands of Khushdil Shah and Tom Kohler was batting for Cadmore. Meanwhile, on the last ball of the over, Cadmore played a shot towards fine leg. After which he and Babar Azam, who was present at the non-striking end, scored 2 runs. But when the fielder threw the ball, it hit the wicket-keeping gloves lying on the ground. These gloves belonged to Multan captain and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. It is often seen that the keeper runs after the ball and places his gloves on the ground to throw. But according to the rules, if any object is deliberately placed on the field and the ball hits it, then a penalty of 5 runs is given.

7 runs scored on 1 ball

Same thing happened here too, when the ball hit the gloves, the umpire gave a penalty of 5 runs, in which 2 runs were allowed. In this way Peshawar Zalmi got 7 runs on one ball. However, field umpire Aleem Dar did everything exactly as per the rules. But perhaps Mohammad Rizwan could not digest this. They were seen arguing continuously. There was a big celebration after that.

What does the MCC rule say?

This is also mentioned in the rule book of MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club), the body that makes the rules of cricket. This is mentioned in MCC rule number 28.2.1.3. According to him, if a fielder or wicketkeeper keeps his stuff on the ground and the ball hits him, then the batting team gets five runs. Often you must have seen that the wicketkeeper has a helmet behind him and if the ball hits him, only five runs are scored.
