Speaking of the video, the reporter asked the captains to raise their hands if they are going to support their players for doing run out at the non-striker end in the upcoming mega event. But, in response to that, no captains raise their hands. It seemed like no skippers are going to support their players for doing run out at the non-striker end in the 20-20 World Cup.
Recently, this mode of dismissal became the talk of the town when Deepti Sharma did the same during the third ODI against England Women. In the 44th over of the match, the Indian spinner ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker end. During the third delivery of that over, Deepti did not complete his ball and ran out the England batter. After the incident, some fans and cricketers supported her. While some went against her as they thought it was against the spirit of the game.
Meanwhile, the Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma opened up about the absence of Jasprit Bumrah ahead of the 20-20 World Cup during the media interaction. "We spoke to a lot of the specialists about his injuries, but we did not get a decent response. This World Cup is important, but his career is more important. He is only 27-28, there is a lot of cricket in front of him. So, we can't take such a risk. All the specialists we spoke to were of the same opinion. There is a lot of cricket ahead of him, he will play a lot more and help India win matches. There is no doubt that he will be missed." Rohit Sharma concluded.
