Delhi: In the Canada Super 60 tournament, a very surprising scene was seen between American fast bowler Ali Khan and West Indies' legendary batsman Kieron Pollard. At the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, a ball was bowled which went straight across the boundary, but still the batting team was not given a six.

The ball crossed the boundary, but did not get a six.

During the match, Ali Khan bowled a sharp short ball to Pollard.

The ball was so high that Pollard could not even touch it. The ball passed over Pollard's head, dodged the wicketkeeper and fell straight across the boundary line. The spectators present in the stadium thought for a moment that 6 runs had been added to the team's account, but according to the rules of cricket, this could not have happened.

Got 5 runs on 1 ball without touching the bat

According to the rules of cricket, if the ball does not hit the batsman's bat, then it is not considered a six even after crossing the boundary.

In this situation, the on-field umpire first declared the ball 'wide', which resulted in 1 run.

After this, the ball crossed the wicketkeeper and went out of the boundary, hence 4 extra runs were given after the bye. In this way the batting team got a total of 5 runs on a single ball.

Short boundary made this moment more exciting

The boundary of BC Place Stadium was a bit small. Ali Khan's ball had so much bounce that it dodged both Pollard and the wicketkeeper and fell straight into the fans.

Usually, whenever the ball goes in the air outside the boundary, the spectators expect 6 runs.

But this incident reminded everyone of the rules of cricket that how runs are scored matters a lot. Even though Pollard did not even touch the ball, his team got 5 runs without any effort.
