Cricket is a very popular sport played around the world, but this game also includes some rules that most people do not know. These rules are not only strange, but are so rare that they are not usually seen in matches. For example, playing the match of Bina Gilli (Bells), or to give a batsman out on the ball collided with a helmet after being offered with the bat.

5 unique rules of cricket

• Match can be done without gilli

If the strong wind is blowing or the gills are falling again and again, the umpire and the captains of both teams can decide that the match will be played without gills. In such a situation, only stumps are kept and if the ball stumps are found then it is considered out. This rule is used on very low occasions, but it is completely valid.

• Out if caught by a helmet

If the ball first hit the helmet after the batsman is on the bat and then goes into the air and caught in the hands of a fielder, then the batsman is considered out.

• Will not get out without appeal

Even though the bowler has clearly dismissed the batsman, but if the fielding team did not appeal, the umpire cannot give him out.

• What happens when the ball is lost?

If the ball is hidden or lost from the batsman’s strong shot and the fielding team appeals to the umpire for ‘ball lust’, then the umpire declares that ball as a dead ball. After this, the umpire starts the game ahead of the old ball.

• Intentionally out to touch the ball

If the batsman deliberately touches the ball with his hand, he is called out. This is the rule so that the batsman can not benefit by wrongly stopping the ball.
