Ravichandran Ashwin was suddenly ruled out of the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot. Ashwin suddenly left the third Test and went home. He will no longer take part in this game. In such a situation, many kinds of questions are raised about him. The biggest question is can any other player play in place of Ashwin in the third Test? Here you will get the answer to every question.
In the third Test, Team India scored 445 runs in their first innings. In response, by the end of the second day’s play, England had scored 207 runs in just 35 overs. England opener Ben Duckett scored 133 runs off just 118 balls. So far he has hit 21 fours and 2 sixes. Joe Root is on the sidelines with him. He scored 9 runs in 13 balls. The English team is now just 238 runs behind India.
Ashwin’s sudden departure is considered a major blow to the Indian team. Ashwin’s departure is believed to have halved the strength of Rohit’s brigade. With Ashwin’s departure, the Indian team is left with just four bowlers. In such a situation, a lot of responsibility now lies on the fast bowlers. Jadeja and Kuldeep’s weight has also increased.
In cricket, it is very rare for a player to drop out in the middle of a game. It often happens that a player is out due to injury in the middle of a game. However, the team can request a replacement in such a situation. However, a replacement is only possible if the captain of the opposing team gives permission to do so. According to MCC rule 1.2.2, once the starting eleven has been announced, no player may be changed without the consent of the captain of the opposing team. However, as per rule number 1.2.1, the team captain has to name his 12th player before the toss, which Team India did not do in this match. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma will not be able to get Ashwin’s replacement even if he wanted to. Instead of Ashwin, a player can now only be a fielder. He is not allowed to bowl or bat.
