Deepti Sharma, an Indian cricket player, competes for Bengal, Sydney Thunder, and her country. She is an all-rounder who bowls off the break with her right arm and bats left-handed. Deepti Sharma is now the third-highest individual scorer by a female cricketer in ODIs, and she is ranked fourth among the top all-rounders in the ICC Cricket Rankings (188 runs).
Indian-born Kapil Dev Ramlal Nikhanj played cricket in the past. He was a fast-medium bowler as well as a hard-hitting middle-order batsman.
Dev became the first Indian captain to achieve so when he guided the Indian cricket team to victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. At the age of 24, he is still the youngest captain of any team to have won the World Cup.
The term “Spirit of Cricket” was once spoken around after India all-rounder Deepti Sharma ran out England batter Charlotte Dean in the third ODI match at illustrious Lord’s. As many English veterans and cricket experts questioned Deepti’s actions, the dismissal completely diverted attention away from India’s historic triumph over England and the legendary Jhulan Goswami’s departure, sparking a “Spirit of Cricket” controversy. On Monday, Indian legend Kapil Dev added to the conversation by posting a response on Instagram.
The 44th over of England’s chase saw the final dismissal of the game occur when Deepti observed Dean backing up excessively far at the non-striker end. With that dismissal, which occurred just a few days after the law relating to run-outs at the non-end strikers was removed from the “unfair play” clause, Deepti acted within the bounds of cricket law. The Law is still written in the same manner “Late on Tuesday, the MCC stated to the media. Sam Billings, James Anderson, and Stuart Broad, among other English cricketers, persisted in questioning the dismissal’s “Spirit of Cricket” though.
Then-South Africa batter Peter Kirsten was also dismissed by Kapil Dev in 1992. Dev responded to the situation bluntly on Instagram before proposing a remedy. He observed: “Instead of lengthy debates each time, I think there should be a clear guideline in a situation like this. Take the batsmen’s run away. It should be thought of as a short run. It’s a better answer, in my opinion.”
Earlier on Monday, Deepti disclosed that Dean received multiple warnings before being dismissed, and the umpire was also made aware of it. This information shed light on the entire “Spirit of Cricket” controversy. It was part of our plan because we told her about it and she persisted in doing it despite our warnings. Everything we did follow the rules. We had also discussed it with the umpire “Sharma told journalists when he arrived in India.
