Why RCB captain Virat missed CSK’s win before the match against DC
Last week, Rajasthan Royals batsman Robin Uthappa slammed the ball while fielding against Kolkata Knight Riders. The ICC banned the use of saliva to shine the ball in June this year due to the Kovid-19 epidemic. According to the standard operating procedure of the game, “If the player applies saliva to the ball, the umpire will deal with this situation and will be generous during the initial phase of keeping pace with the players’ new process but warn the team on such an event further Will go. ‘
The ICC guidelines state that a team can be issued two warnings in each innings but a five-run penalty will be imposed for the frequent use of saliva on the ball. The umpires must clear the ball whenever saliva is used on the ball.
