Pitch penalty: The third Test match between India and England is being played in Rajkot. A second offense of running on the pitch by a batsman during a Test has resulted in a five-run penalty for India. This meant that England would score five wickets without a wicket at the start of their first innings before a single ball was bowled.
Penalty of five runs to India
Team India has been punished for a big mistake by Ravichandran Ashwin, the star off-spinner of the Indian team. India's Ravichandran Ashwin and Dhruv Jurrell were batting in the first session of the second day. Rihan Ahmed was bowling the 102nd over of Team India's innings from England. Ashwin played the ball on the third ball of his over and ran to make the run. For which the field umpire blamed Ashwin for running in the danger area and penalized Team India for five runs. With this, five runs have been added to the England team's account. Now when England start their innings, despite having zero balls and zero wickets, they will add five runs from the very first ball to their score board.
What is the rule?
If you are found guilty of running between the pitches, the umpire warns you the first time and you are penalized the second time. So on the first day of this match when Ravindra Jadeja was batting at the crease, he also accidentally ran into the middle of the pitch. At that time the field umpire gave the first warning to Team India for running in the middle of the pitch and when Ashwin did the same, the Indian team was penalized for five runs by the umpire.
In this match, India has so far scored 424 runs in the first innings after losing 9 wickets in 126 overs. Rohit Sharma's 131 runs and Ravindra Jadeja's 112 runs are also recorded in this.
