Deepti Sharma runs out: The final match of the three-match series between the India women’s team and the England women’s team was played at Lord’s on Saturday. India won this match and swept England in the series. In this match, many players gave their opinion on how Deepti Sharma was left without the England player. Now, Anjum Chopra, the former captain of the Indian women’s cricket team, has made a big statement in this regard.
What did Anjum Chopra say?
Anjum Chopra feels all-rounder Deepti Sharma was left without Charlie Dean as a general rule during the third ODI against England at Lord’s on Saturday. In the Deepti over 44, Charlie Dean was eliminated at the non-striker end. Deepti ran out of brains from him, after which the off-roader faced a lot of criticism. However, Anjum Chopra supported Deepti and said that the TV referee would not have given up if she was wrong.
Anjum Chopra said: “The ICC has made these laws and it has been invented by the UK. So Deepti had every right to be without the batsman, because the batsman had left the crease before bowling.” He said: “The field umpire also passed the decision to the third umpire and the decision to leave came from there, so I don’t think there is any confusion or disparity as to dismissing a team in this way.” He should have or not.”
He added: “I don’t know why there are controversies, if it wasn’t in the rules of the game, the umpire both on the field and on TV would have said the batsman is not out.” This ground helped India win by 16 runs. Anjum Chopra praised the India team for their excellent performance.
Chopra said: “It’s been great, I went there in 1999. There are a lot of areas where they need to improve, but the Indian team winning the series is a good sign. It’s a commendable performance, because the Indian team has done well.” I have never acted like this in England conditions before.” India has now recorded six wins from six matches at the ICC Women’s Championship 2022-2025.
