XtraTime Web Desk: During the start of 2nd innings of Kolkata Knight Riders & Sunrisers Hyderabad match, the fans saw quite an unusual sight in cricket. Not quite unusual but we are now in the era of ‘The New Normal’.
When Bhubaneswar Kumar asked the umpire to keep his cap as he was going to bowl, the umpire rejected. This is one of rules that is set for Cricket post Covid-19 pandemic. The umpire is not allowed to touch someone else’s cap, sweater or any other thing that belongs to someone else.
Since IPL started, there has been no such casualties. Today, the umpire proved that they are always focused and they know so the rules and following them strictly. With this, it gives a hope that IPL 2020 is going to be quite safe and successful.
