India A penalized 10 runs: The performance of India A's top order batsmen against Sri Lanka A was not good, somehow Suryansh Shedge and Viparaj Nigam batted brilliantly and took the team to the score of 265 runs. However, during their partnership, Viparaj Nigam made a mistake due to which India A was fined 10 runs. India A batsman Viparaj Nigam ran twice into the middle of the pitch, after which Sri Lanka got 10 runs for free. Meaning, Sri Lanka's innings started not with 0 but with 10 runs.
Viparj Nigam ran twice in the middle of the pitch. For the first time he made this mistake in the 35th over. On the third ball, he ran in the middle of the pitch and the umpire warned him. After this, he once again ran into the danger area on the fourth ball of the 37th over, after which the umpire imposed a penalty of 10 runs on Team India. Let us tell you that according to the rules of cricket, running is prohibited in the area between the pitch. Running there can spoil the pitch. The area 5 feet inside the crease from both ends of the pitch is considered the danger end, which is around the stump line. Viparaj Nigam violated this and a penalty of 10 runs was imposed on the team.
