Cricket is a sport of nice uncertainties. There are a number of methods to dismiss a batter – bowled, caught, run-out amongst others however there are just a few unsual dismissals that all the time catch the consideration. Handling the ball and obstructing the subject are two of these dismissals and in the historical past of cricket, 22 such situations have taken place throughout all the codecs.
Interestingly, from India, there is only one participant who has been dismissed in such uncommon methods and he is Mohinder Amarnath. The World Cup winner received dismissed in each methods throughout his illustrious profession and each situations occurred in the ODI format itself. The first time Amarnath received out in such an uncommon method was handling the ball in opposition to Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1986.
He was batting on 15 at the time when he confronted a flighted supply from off-spinner Greg Matthews. Amarnath tried to lower the ball with barely any foot motion and in the finish, had to awkwardly defend it. However, after defending, the ball was on its manner to the stumps and instinctively, the batter stopped the ball together with his fingers. Even as Australia appealed, Amarnath realised his mistake and walked away to the pavilion.
The second occasion of Mohainder Amarnath getting out in an uncommon manner occurred in 1989 in opposition to Sri Lanka. He kicked the ball away from the bowler to keep away from getting out when he was in the center of a superb partnership with opener Navjot Singh Sidhu in an ODI in opposition to Sri Lanka. Amarnath was batting on 28 at the time and was given out ‘Obstructing the Field.’ To date, no different Indian batter has been dismissed in both manner and Amarnath stays the only Indian batter to get out in these methods.
