Lucknow: Australia’s fast bowler Mitchell Starc set an example of excellent sportsmanship in the match against Sri Lanka.
In the match against Sri Lanka at the Lucknow Stadium on Monday, Mitchell Starc did not dismiss Sri Lankan batsman Kosal Perera twice but only gave him a warning for advancing from the crease before delivering the ball.
Mitchell Starc gave the first warning to the Sri Lankan batsman for leaving the crease before bowling in the first over of the match, while he did not dismiss Kosal Perera for doing so for the second time in the fifth over, only a warning.
Social media users expressed mixed reactions to Mitchell Starc’s action. Some say that Starc is a true gentleman and has shown sportsmanship.
On the other hand, some critics say that when Mitchell Starc could have dismissed Kosal Perera, why did he not take advantage of the opportunity. By doing so, he created problems for his team.
It should be noted that under the ICC rules, a run-out by a bowler to a batsman standing at the non-striker’s end before throwing the ball is called a ‘minked’ out, which is correct under the cricket rules, but some people consider it against sportsmanship. give
