Regarding the performance of Pakistani spinner Usman Tariq, Indian critics have been constantly criticizing him since the series against Australia.
Usman Tariq played an important role in Pakistan’s victory in the T20 World Cup match against the USA yesterday by taking 3 wickets.
After this an unknown Indian domestic cricketer shared Usman Tariq’s video on X and wrote that even in football now players are not allowed to stop suddenly while running in a penalty.
That is, if the movement is continuous, it is good, but stopping before hitting is considered against the rules of the game. The same question is being asked now in the crisis.
He criticized Usman Tariq and said how can it be right to rest before bowling?
On his post, India legend Ravichandran Ashwin supported Usman Tariq.
Ashwin said that when a batsman has the freedom to change without informing the umpire or a reverse shot, why are restrictions placed only on bowlers?
Ashwin also said that when a batsman decides to start batting from one side of the crease, should he have complete freedom?
He added that on the other hand, the bowler should inform the umpire before changing his bowling hand.
Ashwin said that this law should be changed first.
Accept football does not allow!
While a batter may be allowed to change or reverse a batter without notifying the umpire or the dealer, why are the restrictions limited to the cup after he/she has committed to starting the batter from one side?
Actually the hat is not allowed to be changed… https://t.co/AOV4OKhwcL
