The Incident
New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr was in front of Deepti’s bowling. She plays the ball towards long off and completes a quick run. Also took a call to get a second run. By then the Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur got the ball in her hands and she immediately threw it into the hands of the wicketkeeper. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh made no mistake put the ball on the stumps and appealed for the wicket. Emily Carr was clearly out of it and started walking towards the tent. But the controversy started here. As she doesn’t reach the boundary, the fourth umpire calls her again. Indian players were taken by surprise. He started questioning the umpires as to why exactly.
