In the T20 World Cup 2024, an ICC rule was implemented according to which after the end of one over, the second over should start within 60 seconds. But the US team failed to do this in the match against India and the result was that it was penalized with five runs. The umpire warned US captain Aaron Jones several times but when he violated the rule for the third time, the Indian team was given five runs. At the time when this penalty of five runs was imposed on America, the match was stuck and Team India benefited from it. In the end, Team India won the match and now former cricketer Virender Sehwag has made a wonderful comment on this issue.

'The captain should be banned'

While discussing this issue on the Cricbuzz show, Virender Sehwag said that instead of a five-run penalty for starting a late over, the captain should be banned for one match. After this, the bowler who has a problem with his captain will get him banned by bowling a late over.

American head coach admitted mistake

America's head coach Stuart Law is also unhappy with the mistake of late over. He said that after two warnings from the field umpires, the American captain should have been cautious. Law said in the post-match press conference, "We had received some warnings in earlier matches and we should have started the over early. We are a new team and we have to improve in this matter."

America has a chance to reach Super-8

By the way, America has performed brilliantly in the T20 World Cup. This team has lost for the first time in this tournament. It has defeated America and Canada and it needs only one win to reach the Super 8. America has to play its next match against Ireland in Florida on Friday. However, the sad news is that it is raining heavily in Florida and it is being said that this match is almost impossible. If this match is cancelled and the points are divided, then Ireland and Pakistan will be out of the tournament and America will reach the Super-8 after Team India from Group A.
