Penalty In Cricket:
1. If a ball touches any equipment on the ground which is worn by the player of the Fielding team five runs are awarded to the batting team. It is not just a Helmet.
( Dhoni gloves cost 5 runs for India in champions trophy 2017)
2. If Batsman Ran over the danger area on the pitch twice 5 runs added to the opponent score.
( Ravindra Jadeja did it against New Zealand)
3. If Fielding team makes ball tampering 5 runs will be added to the Batting team
( it has happened in Recent Srilanka vs West Indies match too)
4. A wicketkeeper is the only fielder permitted to wear gloves”
( Because of the error made by Renshaw, Western Australia was awarded 5 penalty runs._
Spirit of Cricket:
- After Batsman has been declared out, the captain of the Fielding team can withdraw the appeal but only with the consent of the umpire
- ( Dhoni calling Ian bell after the run-out)
- You cannot have more than 2 fielders behind the square on the leg side in all forms of the game
- ( Because bowler keeps fielders on both sides and keeps on bowling bouncers which cause physical harm to the batsman)
- If a ball hit the glove when his hand was not in contact with the bat it is considered as Not-out
- ( It happened with Herath Once)
- Besides If a wicketkeeper stumps by collecting the ball in front of the stumps and proceed to remove the bails, the batsman is actually Not out
- ( Dhoni fell prey to this law once)
- Moreover, If a fielder leaves the playing ground without informing the umpire
- ( 5 runs will be added to the opposite team )
- If a batsman or bowler happens to be longer than 15 minutes off the field they cannot be allocated to bowl or bat for the allotted time
- ( Chris Gayle was a victim and not allowed to bat)
