Why India started their innings with 5/0 before a ball was bowled in Chepauk ODI

Why India started their innings with 5/0 before a ball was bowled in Chepauk ODI

Published by Webster

2 min readJun 20, 2026 05:46 PM IST The Indian innings began with 5/0 on the board, even before openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal had faced a single delivery in the second innings of the third ODI against Afghanistan at Chepauk on Sunday. This unusual start came after India were awarded five penalty runs following a mistake by Afghanistan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi in the first innings. Shahidi, whose rearguard effort took Afghanistan to a respectable total, was penalised for running on the restricted area of the pitch. It was the last delivery of the 40th over when Shahidi breached the restricted area for the second time. On-field umpires Chris Gaffaney and Rohan Pandit noted the infringement, disallowed the single he had taken, and handed five penalty runs to India. What does the rule say? Under Law 41.14 of the MCC Laws of Cricket, batters are penalised if they run on the “protected area”, a 5-foot by 2-foot zone in the centre of the pitch. The batting side receives one official warning for a first …

Shubman Gill emerges as ODI leader in Kohli’s absence and Rohit’s subdued form

Published by Webster

3 min readLucknowJun 17, 2026 04:37 PM IST A series that was promoted as a test of the old guard has quickly become a stage for asserting the incumbent captain’s hold over the role. Shubman Gill was handed the reins of the ODI team last October, to go with his Test captaincy, and there are ample indications that the selectors and the team management lean towards having one skipper across the three formats. But with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma still around in the 50-over game, they still cast a long shadow over the team they have built over a long period of time. But with Kohli missing the Afghanistan series due to injury and Rohit not managing a substantial knock in the first two games, the stage was set for Gill to show – with the bat – that he is the man to lead from the front. After shepherding a chase of 195 in 25 overs in Dharamsala, that could have got tricky, staying till the end as Kohli used to, the captain …

5 min readChennaiJun 17, 2026 01:47 PM IST Right through the IPL, when Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was tearing apart the best in the world, there was this underlying question: Why shouldn’t he be fast-tracked into the Indian team set up across formats, including Test cricket? While the 15-year-old looked set to be part of India’s T20 squad for the tour of the UK, the selection panel, led by Ajit Agarkar, made a wise move by putting him on the plane to Sri Lanka for the A series. Having been exposed to the fast demands of T20 and even first-class cricket, the 50-over format offered a middle ground. While scoring rates have improved in Tests, the ODIs are still caught in between. Depending on the conditions, there is a scope for 50-over cricket to turn into an extended T20 outing or a grinding innings. The conditions in Sri Lanka for the A series have called for the latter approach, where batsmen have had to show application on two-paced pitches. T20 Intent Yet, in each of the four …
