IND vs NZ:
Sophie Devine was run out
In this match, Deepti Sharma brilliantly ran out New Zealand captain and experienced batsman Sophie Devine. On the last ball of the 12th over of the match, Sophie played a shot towards the front. The bowler picked up the ball. During this time Sophie had come out of the crease but he did not even know about it. Deepti threw the ball towards wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia. Yastika quickly blew away the bails. Replays showed that Devine’s foot was outside the crease. The umpire gave out.
Sehwag is out like this
This is not the first time in international cricket that a batsman has been out like this. Former Indian team opener Virender Sehwag has also been out in a similar manner. In the 2007 ODI match against Sri Lanka, Sehwag did not even realize that he was out of the crease. He was walking outside the crease without placing his bat or feet inside. The then Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Sangakkara showed cleverness and ran him out.
