On the last day of the Leeds Test, an incident occurred, which caught the attention of cricket fans. In the last session of the match, Ravindra Jadeja took a precious wicket of England captain Ben Stokes, after which Stokes returned to the pavilion. But during this time a unique turn came when his partner Joe Root also suddenly went out of the field. This incident became a topic of discussion on social media and questions started to arise about cricket rules.
Why did the root run out of the ground?
Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly in the 68th over of England’s second innings, dismissed Ben Stokes, which was a major setback for England. After Stokes returned to the pavilion, the root, who was at the crease at that time, suddenly went out of the field. Initially it was not understood why Root did this, but later it was revealed that he took this step to go to the washroom. Let me tell you, something similar was seen during India’s second innings. KL Rahul went out of the ground for some time after completing his century.
Let me tell you, many separate rules have not been made by the International Cricket Council to go to the washroom in cricket. Usually, a batsman is allowed to leave the field during the game only when he needs medical help or an emergency. Going to the washroom is usually allowed during the brake (such as lunch or T-break). However, if a batsman wants to go to the washroom in the middle of the game, then he has to get permission from the umpires.
Joe Root scored half -century
Joe Root scored crucial runs for the England team in this innings. He remained unbeaten by scoring 53 runs off 84 balls and returned to the pavilion only after winning the team. He hit 6 fours in his innings. At the same time, he scored 28 runs in the first innings and became a victim of Jaspreet Bumrah.
